How To Become A Celebrity Chef

These days it seems anyone and everyone can be a celebrity or better known as reality celebrity.  Though when we watch these "celebrities" they are far from any sense of reality, as soon as they see the video camera with the red blinking light recording their every move, their life becomes less interesting.
This goes for the new fad of celebrity chefs.  What is a celebrity chef, and how do you become one.
Well first you will need to lower your expectations of self respect, selling out to major brands, showcasing overpriced products with your name on it in large retail stores whose common consumer can't afford in the first place, except when they put it on an 8 month layaway plan.  Second, be sure to not know a single iota of what your show is about.  This is key.  Make sure you have no training or knowledge of what your show is about, just rely on the real cooks in the back to do the chopping and prepping because the production team does not have the time or money for you to harm yourself on TV.  Ever notice that?  No cuts or burns, no band aids on any limbs to prove they did the dirty work.  I don't care how much of a professional you claim to be, if you are busting your ass in any kitchen you are going to endure some battle wounds.   The last thing may the most important to gaining success on TV, no matter what you think, your job is not to think, just follow everyone else.  How many versions of a hamburger does one need anyway?  Okay I get it you like to eat hamburgers.

So if you are willing to sell yourself image for the price of fame, put your mug on a box of crackers, and slap you approval on some random line of cookware to be sold where no one can afford it, then you to can be deemed as a celebrity chef.
