“The Philippines is known to have the worst food in Asia” - Malaysian celebrity chef lambasts CNN poll
By Tok Yui Shuen
I guess we can all say that this piece of article is a reply to last week’s news on various chefs saying no to photography of food in their restaurant. After hearing what the chefs have to say about the matter, what does the author have to say to rebut the right to taking pictures in restaurants? In the article, http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/23/how-dare-chefs-meal-photographing-food, one point made in rebuttal is that the diners have paid for their meals and it is only their right to do what they wish. However, if you imagine putting yourself in the shoes of a chef or his/her team battling in the heat in the kitchen for a whole day with almost no sleep from preparation to closing, they are only having our best interests in heart. Would you agree to that?
