Hand-picked top chefs who say that they don't need a large pointed knife clearly don't make sushi, cut up chickens, or dice their own garlic, let alone have the same economic concerns as the average "man in the street" - it's hard to see what it looks like in a normal kitchen from the top of an ivory tower.
But isn't that is what a sous chef is for?? It easy to forget what you need to do basic things like dicing garlic, when your paying someone else is doing it.
If you buy tickets months ahead of time, you used to be able to get good deals. These days, by the time the return flight becomes available for sale, all the cheap seats on the flight over are sold out because everybody is buying so far ahead trying to keep from getting utterly screwed by the skyrocketing prices.
I fly almost every week for work and have noticed that the ticket prices are usually the best two to three weeks out, sometimes just one week. Less than a week usually means paying a premium
Of course, the holidays are usually the exception.
