The complete opposite of what pops into your mind when you think Celebrity Chef. (Perhaps my image of the job role is tainted by Gordon Ramsey TV shows).

Plus, I believe she is there to testify in the bribery case, so shouldn't be a shock to locals at least.

UK Ramsey, and Ramsey with kids seems an OK guy. Even Master Chef Ramsey isn't bad. Its US produced and edited reality show Ramsey who gets a bad rap.

Exactly. The UK (i.e., original) version of "Kitchen Nightmares" was a clear example of this. A lot less yelling and he narrates the whole thing himself - none of the dramatic $#@% of the American version.

Chris Hadfield
Right now right by me in the YYZ Domestic MLL business area. I think he's eating the bland scrambled eggs.
Last time I saw him was in 2012 IIRC. Need to look upthread.

1. How to survive on a diet of pickle and cold pizza.
2. When food starts to roll out at various MLLs, make sure to be the first or everything edible will be gone in 5 minutes.
3. Understand that spoon and bowls will be gone before the food does, so plan ahead.
4. There is usually a PPL just around the corner.
Anyone who can not pass this training will have his/her SE100K revoked for health and safety and ranting concerns.

I think there should be some type of quantifiable criteria to distinguish what might be a celebrity to you, from a celebrity to the general public.
Not slagging your opinion, I just legitimately wonder who else may have even heard of these specific folks before.

Reading some of these posts makes me wonder how many times I may have unknowingly sat next to one of these "celebrities" on a flight ��

People have reported here having sat next to some American celebrity on a non-AC flight, so pretty much anything goes. I guess some posters didn't carefully read "Canadian"

That's like the time a few years ago I walked onto an AC flight at LAX behind Andy Kim. The SD said "OMG, that's Andy Kim"; my wife went "you know that's Andy Kim, right?" and I, having come to Canada in the mid-70s and never listened to his type of music, went "Who?".
Celebrity to me is a current one, not a former one...
