On the July 5 article "Female chefs are giving sushi a new lease on life," only one of these female chefs looks like someone I would want preparing my food (Yumi Chiba). Her hair is neatly and professionally tidied under her chef's cap.
All the other female so-called chefs have messy hair hanging down — on their faces, on their shoulders — even by the tray of sushi! Most unprofessional. Most unappetizing.
I expect professionals who handle food to keep their hair as tidy as Takarazuka students at their graduation ceremony, or as tidy as ballerinas in class, whether or not they are wearing chef's caps.
