Top Chef pants question

[snack_pack85]

has anyone else noticed that whenever the guys and gals on Top Chef go into the judging room, their pants are cuffed? What's that all about?

No I never noticed that, what does cuffed mean?

Since I've never seen the program, I can only assume that by "cuffed" the pants have a cuff on the bottom, as opposed to being straight or uncuffed.

It's easy enough to turn up the bottom edge of a pair of pants to give the effect of a "cuff."

So maybe they turn them up to catch stray food for a snack later???

OK ok, being serious I now have to watch the show to satisfy my curiosity and see what they are talking about...

I just watched it tonight and never noticed. It is on right now and I am tempted to watch it again to see, but nah, next week.

I watched seven episodes in a row and several of the chefs fold or cuffed their pants up making "highwaters". Very strange. I am am gonna assume it IS for snack catching purposes It's what I would do!

I was going to say it's a snack reservoir. In chef school, don't they teach you to be resourceful and not to waste anything? Well......

Obviously I don't have a clue!

I looked in my Top Chef cookbook but couldn't tell in the pictures from the first three seasons.

Maverick, .

But no I haven't noticed but then I've never even seen or heard of the show.
