 **Certification**
 **Pursuant

 I, James
K. Price, certify that:
 
 1.
    I
      have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of TurboChef
      Technologies Inc. (the "Registrant");2.
    Based
      on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement
      of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
      statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
      annual report;3.
    Based
      on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
      included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects
      the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
      Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;4.
    The
      Registrant's other certifying officer and I (herein, the "Certifying
      Officers") are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
      controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
      and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined
      in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Registrant and
      have:(a)
    Designed
      such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
      controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
      that material information relating to the Registrant, including its
      consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is made known to
      the Certifying Officers by others within the Company, particularly during
      the period in which this annual report is being prepared; and(b)
    Designed
      such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
      control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to
      provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
      reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
      purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and(c)
    Evaluated
      the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
      and presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
      effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
      the period covered by this annual report based on such evaluation; and(d)
    Disclosed
      in this annual report any change in the Registrant's internal control over
      financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's most recent
      fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
      materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial
      reporting; and5.
    The
      Registrant's Certifying Officers have disclosed, based on the Certifying
      Officers' most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
      reporting, to the Registrant's auditors and the Audit Committee of the
      Registrant's Board of Directors:(a)
    All
      significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
      operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and(b)
    Any
      fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal control
      over financial reporting.
