As I said, they just wanted ice cream. There were better desserts on the menu that I could have made if they'd wanted them.
Quite a lot of chefs are twats. A lot of all male environments lead to constant dick swinging contests. Same as all female environments lead to constant bitching behind each others' backs. The best kitchens I worked in had a good male/female balance.
I never dated a female chef. Met some really hot ones who I instantly have something in common with but never even contemplated it. I theorised that it's because I liked to impress women with my cooking so they're like WOW! I'd lose a string off my bow if I was dating a chef, honestly.
