Whether you’re already rocking a full Tom Selleck or have barely entered the Ugly Geraldo stage, the culinary world is filled with delicious yet insidious items that can turn your handsome, follically-enhanced self into the joke of the dinner table.
Fortunately, Top Chef Canada veteran, Vancouver-based restauranteur and fellow Movember supporter, Trevor Bird, offers some guidance. The Fable owner points out four things about which the moustachioed man should think twice before diving into this month (along with some tasty alternatives).
Trevor also cautions all Movember faithful before embarking on any first dates this month. “I’m not sure what his chances would be, but if you’re meeting a lady for the first time this month and she sticks around, she’s probably marriage material.”
No Grilled Cheese Gooey cheddar ‘stache becomes congealed cheddar ‘stache.

Mo’ Steak Sandwiches Always satisfies carnivorous cravings and optional knife and fork control helps keep your moustache extra pristine.
No Powdered Sugar Jelly doughnuts can leave you looking like Santa a month early.
Mo’ Mini Doughnuts Grab a handful of mini doughnuts for a sweet and easy bite.
No Mugs of Whipped Cream Whip on a well-groomed moustache is just… unseemly.
Mo’ Travel Lids Get your drink in a to-go cup and cap it with a lid before you take a sip.
