More important than skills as a gourmet chef, more important than a quirky personality, even more important than an immense sense of self; a food chef on TV must be from a country with a strong culinary tradition. Being born in France, Italy or Kansas City if the subject is barbecue is a prerequisite for success as a food show chef on the food network. Many themes become available for each episode if the host chef can relate and compare the superb food of his home Country to the meal concocted for tonight's episode.

Sometimes a chef host will have a Mother from France, a Father from China and he himself will reveal he left home at age two to travel to Spain to learn the proper operation of a kitchen. Of course by age nine he will rebel and leave his mentor and make his way to New York to start his own avante gaurde street restaurant in the back of a 1967 Volkswagen bug creating unique hot dogs.

Eventually it becomes difficult for the recruiters at the food network to find chef's with unique country's of birth. Recently artificial insemination of a preselected female egg has been used to create food chefs. Of course the containers storing the appropriate male and female supplies for the conception will be pre-merger sent to many fine food countries, such as Vietnam, Little Italy in Louisville Kentucky, and Chinatown in Barberton, Ohio for seasoning and to allow the future chef from the grand union to have a store of obiters for to be aired episodes.
