Chip Gaines Revealed Joanna Gaines Is a Picky Eater and Stubborn About Trying New Food

Joanna Gaines shared a video of Crew in the kitchen

On Aug. 14, Joanna posted a video of Crew on Instagram, captioning it, “My little sous chef.”

Crew was seen hard at work, tasting and stirring sauce with a tiny spoon, browning meat in a skillet, and seasoning it with two kid-sized pinches of salt. He also counted up basil and bay leaves.

The video ends with a too-cute photo of Crew helping his mom, as he’s perched on a stool by the stove with Joanna standing beside him.

Some fans said Chip and Joanna Gaines’ son Crew made an unsanitary move

The Instagram comment section lit up with some of the Magnolia Table With Joanna Gaines‘ star’s followers weighing in on the way Crew took a taste of sauce and returned the spoon to the pot.

Comments included, “Oh triple dipping and a stir, lol so gross,” “Yuck he double dips in the sauce,” and “The double dipping has us all screaming.”

Many people were quick to point out that double dipping is unsanitary. “He needs to learn that you only dip once. That is unhealthy and disgusting,” one person commented. Another person shared, “Saliva can make tomato sauces/soups turn bad in a minute. Just saying!”

A few people called out the “fail,” pointing fingers at Joanna. “Sorry but you’re teaching him incorrectly. A double dip is never allowed in cooking especially when possibly sick,” one person noted. “That’s spreading germs. That is an instant fail in any kitchen.”

When one person commented, “Cute but double dipping is gross!,” another commenter responded, “It’s their kid. Not a restaurant. Lighten up.”

The original commenter replied, “It’s not only that, if it’s not eaten immediately it can grow bacteria/mold way quicker. It’s not just ‘germs’ like people think.”

Many fans defended Crew’s cute double dip

Not everyone found Crew’s kitchen moment disgusting, however. “Double dippers Unite! Good man right there,” one person wrote.

“Does it really matter if he tastes it once or twice?” another commenter asked. “I am sure the sauce is just for his family. My kids are adults and they still try food off my plate, no biggie. You do you, Crew.”

Another commenter noted, “People stop being so negative. Go elsewhere. Anyone who doesn’t stick the spoon back in the pot after tasting when cooking for your own family and self, is full of s×%#.”

One of Joanna’s followers shared, “Quit with the double dipping comments … Y’all aren’t the ones eating it … Annoying!”

Another commenter argued, “For everyone saying no double dipping, it is their kid cooking for them, not the public or for a restaurant full of customers. Lighten up. If you kiss your kids, you can eat something they double dipped in.”
