July 25th is "National Culinarians Day". And for those of you who are scratching your heads wondering what the hell that means, culinarian is simply a fancy word for chef most likely thought up by the French to give themselves a more important title than what they actually are. And if your not sure what a chef is, then you are most likely a female born after 1982 because none of you know how to cook. Only kidding of course, chefs can be called whatever the hell they want as long they keep serving me delicious food on end and enjoy every bit of it. Hell I even have one of those cheeky "Kiss The Chef" aprons with the arrow pointing down that I rock every time there is a grill out even if I'm not cooking. Culinarians are artists and my stomach is the judge, so whenever they feel the need for critique there is a very simple formula to follow. Don't overcook the steak and never under cook the chicken. Easy enough...
There are no known origins of "National Culinarians Day" but the word culinarian first appeared in 1949 in the New Collegiate Dictionary to describe a cook or a chef. It's first use in a negative way was when chef Gordon Ramsay yelled at a fellow chef and called him a culinarian c*cksucker when he undercooked the risotto. Not sure if that's true or not, but I think there's a pretty good chance that it is.
What better way to celebrate this fine day then by whipping up a batch of something special for yourself or for those around you. Especially you ladies, you might be surprised what your man will eat after you serve him a hearty meal fit for a king. So bring out the chef inside of you today and let your culinary skills shine. And remember as Mitch Hedberg used to say, "Fettuccine Alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults." And everybody can make macaroni and cheese...
