Chiarello appeared on the latest episode of the Planet Green show Supper Club with Tom Bergeron to discuss the challenges of sourcing his food locally for his new restaurant when one has a discriminating palate But everybody just stay calm! He's not going to disregard his carbon footprint when Bottega opens later this month in Yountville, CA.—his wife keeps him in check.

Michael is looking good with the gray hair. I love it when men gray, It never looks as good on women.

Oh, I don't know about that....I let my hair go 'natural' since last September and every single day I get compliments from people on how 'stunning' it is. Yes, that's the word they use. I'm real pleased with my multi-silver, white, platinum do!

I like the woman's hair on the Eggland's Best commercial...she is silver and talks about how she serves, her son the chef, only Eggland's Best.

And, what about Paula? She has beautiful hair!

Paula's hair is very nice. He's looking good too.

There is a woman I see in a lot of commercials that is very pretty and her gray hair is nice. I do like Paula's too. I guess it depends on the woman.

[BerryBaby]

That's true...some women (and men) look great with silver hair...others, not so much. Really that can be said about any color.

Michael does look very handsome!

[Food Network Fan]

I certainly think it looks better on Michael. But then Michael overall would look better to me than a woman.
