"And these are the things that make you like a good chef is like being adaptable to that and like let it go off your shoulder."   "You got to show them your value and the value is like your house smells good." "It's like you have to be able to engage a bit, you have to be able to cook and talk, cook and talk." "There's a lot more personality than skill."  "The reality is day seven, you're just exhausted. You want nothing to do with anything. And the creative process is dead." "They live in a world where everything is brought to them at whatever, that they tell someone and it's done."  "It's not a sustainable practice because you will not establish a lasting team."  "You have to treat the people that work for you. You don't have to treat them like family, but you have to treat them like a human."  "Work for less money if they feel appreciated and braced." #privatechefpodcast #chef #privatechef
