[edit] Style field

Is there a list of established cooking styles on wikipedia, that the heading could link to? -- Netoholic @ 16:25, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

There are some at Category:Cuisine -- Chris 01:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image size

This template seems to force smaller images to be huge. Is there some way around that? Crypticfirefly 01:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I have noticed this. One way would be for pages to pass in a complete image tag, instead of the filename, and the other would be to create an optional size variable. I think the latter would be best. Does anyone have any thoughts? — Chris ( t c ) — 08:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The optional size variable sounds good to me. Crypticfirefly 14:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restaurants

• What should be included in the Restaurants field? It seems to me there are roughly 3 possiblities:

1) Rests. that the person was either the Head Chef or Owner. 2) Significant restaurants in the career of the Chef e.g. a notable restaurant where the person served as sous-chef. 3) Attempt to list all restaurants the person worked at in any capacity. Jdclevenger 01:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering this as well. We just ate at Cibo in NYC thinking it was one of Tyler Florence's restaurants based on the Wiki article. Turns out he hasn't been there since around '95.

I think there should be a way to indicate, past and current positions at a restaurant.

Ex) Executive Chef - 1995 - 1998

Thoughts?

[edit] Books

Should this infobox include an option for notable books authored by the chef? AndrewMcQ 12:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Somewhere (though I can't recall where) it was decided that that type of information should be included in the article itself. Many chefs have a lot of books, and putting them in the infobox could really clutter it up. — Chris ( t c ) — 04:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
