Bwog heard through the grapevine that some of the employees at 212 have asked familiar faces for a most unusual favor: to write Dining Services an e-mail requesting that the Chef’s-Hat-Required policy be nixed. 

We think this a worthy cause, and if you do too, shoot the Dining mandarins an e-mail at eats@columbia.edu. It’ll take just a second and will do wonders for your karma.
