The bonus of the Pampered Chef concept is the "Chef" part. If there are a small enough number of women (and the occasional gay man, which makes it a much better party) you can do some serious eating at one of those ...

Heck, I'd pay an extra fifty cents, even.

I did annoy one Pampered Chef lady by letting other "guests" know that an identical ice cream scoop to their $15 one with the antifreeze in the handle was available at Ikea for a buck.
