This is the best thing BA has put out in forever. I'm also a pastry chef and when she talked about 'being up to her elbows in ice cream, I freaking DIED because that was literally me less than 24 hours ago. She's a great pastry chef because I was inspired to make strawberry sumac ice cream by watching this. Such a good vibe in that BOH too.

@@dabearsfan9 Correct, hunter gatherers were on their feet (on soft ground) sometimes for long periods of time, but after they caught their food they would sit around the cave/village and relax. 40 hours/week, every week on your feet is not natural. Granted, I do not know for how many hours on average our hunter gatherer ancestors were standing.

@@jaybloomfield5082 And there was probably still a lot of waiting with hunters (not gatherers, so much). Not lazy waiting, but with reduced strain on their muscles. It's the same way with a lot of predators in the animal kingdom. What those of us in food service do is very unnatural, and it comes at a cost.

Many years ago the servers had strips on uniforms, showing how long they worked their, very old world!

Remember though the original Top Gear presenters were people like Angela Rippon, Tom Coyne & Noel Edmonds. So you can go through changes of cast & become successful at a later date. Though I know what you mean, after such a successful team its a hard act to follow. Brad Leone is about the only one I'm guaranteed to tune in for as he always has good projects, but some of the others are showing promise.
