commisdotcom , welcome to cheftalk and great response to this thread!
As far as the knowledge in a kitchen goes well the chef delegates! Heck, I am no pastry chef even though I love baking!I just do not have the patience for the finer arts of this craft so what do I do?I hire a pastry chef and a baker!
A chef is the best politician!The chef works with the customer who actually pays the bills for the property, the hourly help down to dishwasher,the mid level managers (Sous chefs, Pastry chefs,assistant restaurant managers) as well as restaurant managers and owners or companies with a much heavier structure such as Regional Director of operations,corperate chefs/consultants,vice presidents of regions, as well as stockholders!So its easy!All you have to do to be a good chef is to make the customer happy,your employees comfortable,your mid managers stroked,and your upper echilon happy with numbers(not to mention the health inspections)!Oh yeah, the meetings suck so who realy wants to be a chef? Keep cookin , Doug...........
