    You don’t think it’s a metric of competency? I don’t know, I’m not in the restaurant industry but it seemed like a skill to me.

      Just because it’s a competency doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use the tools available to you. Should I not use woodworking jigs because I’m competent in cutting dovetails? It makes the job easier and less prone to errors.

        Gordon always makes it a point that it’s extremely easy to do, but I genuinely don’t know cooking so I can’t check the veracity.

        However, I also can’t check your analogy either because I’m not great at cooking nor woodwork. If it were programming and someone had to use GitHub CoPilot during an interview to do what I considered an easy task then I’d not want to have them at a high level.

        Once again, my analogy I’d probably bollocks because I don’t know cooking.

        You bring up some good points. I just figure it was a high level competition, but I see where you’re coming from.

          I think a better analogy would be if you were interviewing and someone didn’t do simple functionality testing because they were such an awesome coder, what would you think

              Maybe if he used a thermometer he wouldn’t have made the world’s most undercooked grilled cheese sandwich.

                There’s no excuse for that abomination. That grilled cheese is indefensible.
