"Pretentious gits!" Had lunch with a former client today who is a Producer with one of the cable

networks that air cooking competition programs. I asked him what the deal is with some of the judges that eat with chopsticks instead of traditional flatware regardless what the dish is. His reply, “pretentious gits!” He said as far as he knows the trend started in The Hamptons a few years ago. According to him typically individuals who prefer chopsticks will bring their own to restaurants but some very high end establishments now offer their guests a choice of utensils.

To each their own!
