I've been watching TransGeneration recently, and it's basically just a reality TV show that caters to perverse cis curiosity about trans folks.
it has so many fucked up moments, but one of the ones I found amusing was when they took footage of Gabbie the trans woman cutting up hot dogs:
Then just to make sure we didn't miss the metaphor they zoom in and really focus on her cutting the hot dogs:
just, lmao
yeah, a scalpel would have been a better choice
I mean even if she's not going for the metaphor, the correct choice is a chef's knife. It's the correct choice for 90% of jobs in the kitchen and will do fine for the other 10%.
Normally I would agree, but I can't actually think of why a utility knife is a bad choice for cutting hot dogs - they're soft and easy to cut, and it's not as impractical as a paring knife. Mostly I just think it would be easier & safer to guide a chef's knife with your fingers.
Also the blade meets the chopping block all the way back so there's no void between the handle and the blade. But mostly it's much quicker to use a chef's knife because of the ability to guide the blade.
