Welcome to Culinarians Day!
Culinarians are experts in the art and science of cooking and serving food. They can be chefs, cooks, home cooks, bakers, and anyone else who is involved in the process of preparing and serving meals. Professional culinarians tend to work in restaurants and commercial kitchens.
While the origins of Culinarians Day are unknown, we can all safely assume that the holiday was invented as a way to thank all the culinarians who make our experience of eating out fun and special.
How to Celebrate?
- If you personally know a chef or a cook, send them a thank you note and a thoughtful gift.
- Make a special dinner for the person who cooks for you every day.
- Go out to eat and thank the chef and the cooks for laying out a good meal for you.
...that the hat chefs wear is called a toque blanche (white hat in French)? It is believed that the height of the toque represents seniority and rank in the kitchen and the folds in the hat represent the qualification of the chef.

Trump nominates Ann Marie Buerkle to chair Consumer Product Safety Commission (PS; Weiner)
President Donald Trump on Monday night nominated former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle to serve as chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Buerkle, a Republican who represented the Syracuse area for one term in Congress in 2011 and 2012, has been serving as acting chair at the commission since February.
She took over for Elliott Kaye, a Democrat who had been appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014.
If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Buerkle would serve a new seven-year term overseeing the independent agency charged with protecting the public from hazardous consumer products.
Obama appointed Buerkle to the $155,000 per-year post on the five-member commission in 2013. She filled an unexpired term of a Republican commission member.
Trump's appointment of Buerkle to a new term would begin Oct. 27 if her nomination is approved by the Senate. Her existing term is due to expire in October.
Buerkle, 66, formerly of Onondaga Hill, has been a longtime advocate for reducing the regulatory burden on small businesses. At the commission, she opposed the idea of increasing civil penalties against companies that break federal safety regulations for consumer products.
