This blog is to showcase queers in domestic environments; focusing on the evolution of the chef persona in the culinary world. In domestic environments, the roles went from a female housewife to a macho male chef. From little girl's toy kitchen sets, the idea of boys growing up in the kitchen, the figure of Julia Child in the culinary world, The Galloping Gourmet, and then finally male and female queer chefs in the spotlight such as the Food Network and The Cooking Channel.

Questions to ponder on..
What has your experience been as a queer in the industry? How far into your life did you go into cooking?
What role did cooking play in your childhood?
Was it a gendered issue learning how to cook growing up?
I know you both had a hard time finding people to interview, but if you could find out why they aren't any out chefs? Like the age and demographics?
