Personally - I don't care.
I just thought it was interesting that a consumer actually checked up on someone's accreditation claim. I'm not in this industry so it's hard for me to put into context what this means to the consumer, other than a general observation that the guy could be faking his credentials.
I doubt I will ever even go eat there - regardless of this scenario - I just don't care to eat out that much.

I'm like the rest of you, I couldn't care less about FB or a chef's credentials. However, the restaurant apparently uses this claim in their FB page and, thus,
must feel it enhances their public image (why else would they put up the claim?). The reviewer may need to get a life, but he did find out that the claim by the restaurant, on FB, was bogus. It's called "resume padding." Lots of people do it, few get caught because few actually do any fact checking. How important is the issue? Depends on the industry/business and the degree of padding. Wouldn't want to see it on a surgeon's resume, but on a chef in a small restaurant? Let the buying public decide.
