All that smoking was such a turn-off


We're talking food preparation

I've often heard smoking dulls your taste buds

Combining a restaurant/food preparation with smoking just doesn't work for me

Also annoyed when she left a glass bottle on a railing over looking the street

smoking does dull your taste buds but being a professional chef in a restaurant kitchen is a really stressful job, i don't think i've met many chefs who don't smoke to get through the work day

I'm a smoker and have been for many years.
When I did give up smoking for 18months - I didn't find a change in my tastebuds at all.

Food and drink tasted the same to me.
So I don't think it's the same for everybody.
