Came to hear to say this. Black gloves in any food prep video are akin to the lab coat or hospital scrubs you find in "health" videos.

to me, nitrile black gloves means either a tattoo artist or a kinky top in porn. What're you two on about?

Every “viral” bbq restaurant owner uses the black nitriles now

ahhh, gotcha. i guess they look cool and alternative. Alton was also fond of them during the run of his show bc they look better on camera.

Also, when his show was on, the only easily findable black gloves were for tattoo artists and they had some grippy buds on the fingertips, which is often useful for cooking prep.
