Actually it depends on the cook. I am being serious. Of course you have the snooty Beverly Hills cooks who wear the white garb and bring it to the table without a stain. Then you have other cooking shows where the get down and dirty.
When you are done, the table should not look like a war zone, because that is where your product ends up. But in all seriousness, back stage, in the kitchen, there is always far more the eater doesn't see that they don't want to think about, regardless of price of the dish.
