Thought of the Dave

Beard snoods

Working in a kitchen is one of the most stressful jobs you can find (something I can vouch for first hand, having briefly worked in the canteen of a well known department store, when I was a strapped-for-cash teenager). To be a chef you must to be prepared to work long hours, in a hot and fast paced environment. For those who chose this career, it is pretty much a calling…

But what do you do if you dream to work in the heady world of hot food, but feel unable to alter your natural disposition for sporting a large beardy growth?

Simple. Buy a beard snood.

The beard snood is a handy hairnet-like device built specifically for the face. Wearing it allows you to get down to some serious culinary action, safe in the knowledge that not even a single stray hair from your George Michael goatee will be lost in the process.

I expect to see Brian Blessed on Hell’s Kitchen in the near future…

P.S. It may also be worth noting that when working in the canteen, I was once told off because my ankles kept clicking as I walked.
