Should someone get away with padding their resume?
Maybe it depends on their craft.
Surgeons vs. Chefs......hmmmm.......
But if you remember.....the reviewer did mention a potential health issue.....that 'could' be tied to the issue of a person who's character is in question.
He gets 'points' for that, does he not?
In any rate - how would you feel if someone in YOUR field of work misrepresented himself?
Not too many landscapers I know have a 4 year degree from the University of Florida school of Agriculture - with a major in Ornamental Horticulture. If someone advertised they did and I found out they were a fraud...what would I do?

IMO, no one should get away with resume padding, it's the white collar version of steroid use. It's lying. If true, this chef has lied about his training. His employer has used the lie (either knowingly or not) to boost their public image. For whatever reason, the reviewer's curiosity was piqued enough to do a little checking and felt it was perfectly ok to report his findings. I applaud his efforts, and let the public decide if it is an important issue. If the chef took a short session as one poster's spouse had done, then we have classic resume padding. If he never received any instruction, we have outright lying. This isn't a national health or safety issue. It's simply keeping them honest.
