Wait a minute, wait a minute....you realize that's how actual great chefs work, right?
You guys don't understand. Those sou chef's aren't coming up with ideas. They just do shyt for the chef while the chef worries about more important shyt like what the dish is gonna look like, taste like, what ingredients they're gonna use. The chef has to think about what the people want, what kind of experience he wants his customers to have when they eat his food. Just because he didn't cut up the potatoes doesn't mean it's not his dish that he came up with and approved of and directed his sou chefs to create. And along the way during the process he steps in and adds things, tells the sou chefs what they're doing wrong, alters shyt etc.
Anybody dissing the chef shows a fundamental lack of knowledge about the creation of food.
