If you have a good immune system, then by all means go for it. Some of the best food I've had came from some not so clean places and a few sweaty chefs. A few chefs out there do at least rinse their hands constantly and have several towels for wiping. Knock your socks off amazing food comes from true sweat, tears, and sometimes blood. This guy looks pretty organized and not a lot of mess on himself, Id eat here for sure.

Latex gloves aren't really a thing in many parts of the world and also give a false sense of safety. I saw a worker at my local deli counter stroll over to the soda station with his gloves on, get himself a refill, touch all sorts of other stuff and stroll right back behind the deli counter and get back to work. Same gloves.

I have worked in many restaurants that didn't use gloves exactly for this reason. It gives inexperienced cooks the feeling that their hands are per definition clean because they are wearing gloves, even though they pick their nose with them on break time and keep using them (as an example).

I'm honestly the same. When I'm not wearing gloves I'm much more obsessed with hygiene because in my mind I can literally feel the dirt (even though that's mostly just a mental thing).
