NOT IN AN APRON!!!!! well, not right away anyway.
geez, sush, don't listen to jkath for advice on how to meet women. i think she means well, but i might be getting fooled too. it's so hard to tell.
don't listen to any woman for advice on that, except maybe your mom. even your sisters will lead you astray, for revenge purposes. it's their evil plan, all of their plans. no, not world domination, but to make us crazy; dangling the carrot and making us jump through flaming hoops, just for the pleasure of being able to do it.
if you have to tie in, as it were, a chick with the apron thing in a pub, tell them a fantastic lie about why you need to have a picture with them only after buying them a drink or 3, all the while being very complimentary on stuff like their hair and clothing (not the eyes, that's overdone. and don't overdo the clothing thing, that could look, well, ya know, swishy).
lemme think: you are a well travelled but poor, soul searching chef, who's made his way around the world seeking wisdom, and the ultimate recipe.
we can all help you fill in the lies for particular stuff that only a local from that region would know.
a good coupla backed up references, and they'll be like ducks in a row.
then, you could mention a website that greatly values your worldly wisdom has requested you send in a picture with the apron on one of your travels.
