Why Italy

Do you think a Chinese person could be an Italian food head chef successfully, or vice versa?

Do you think a Chinese person could be an Italian food head chef successfully, or vice versa? (In kitchen that have many sub-ordinate Italian decent, vice versa) As I just realize that success in food is different from like mastering programming or inside laboratory. As food representing cultural image? If you know someone who have succeeded this cross-cultural achievement, pls mention the name..

1. Why not?
2. Why not? It's not about the race but the knowledge and passion in it.
3. ABSOLUETLY THIS KIND OF FOOD IS IN HIGH DEMAND
4. I only buy Japanese food from Japanese people. German food from Germans, Ukrainian food from Ukrainians, etc. I think that it adds more to the dining experience when you are being waited on and cooked for by people of whatever origin the food is.
5. Uh, yea. Have you ever seen that show, "Iron Chef"? Those Japaneese dudes are serving up all kinds of different dishes from different cultures, including fine Italian dishes.
6. Absolutely! As long as you study in a certified chef's school there should be no problem. If you already know several food cultures, go for it. Best wishes.
7. Definately, food is not decided by the ethnicity of the person. It is all about the talent of the chef!
8. try iron chef. japanese cooking italian, french and chinese cuisines.
9. You know, the best Italian food I've ever had was prepared by a man named "Sharma" in the German town of Pforzheim - and he was Indian. So, my answer would be: If that Chinese chef can pull it off, nobody will care where he comes from. It's about the food, not about the chef.
10. It's just a little funny trying to imagine a chinese guy raving about his spaghetti.."Mama Mia! mmouaaa!! ha ha ha Other than that,if he doesn't mix his pasta with his noodles he may be acceptable :-D
