Who is the best chef?
Cooking without question can be attributed to the art, because cooking is not only mixing ingredients, but also the creation of exquisite, appetizing and delicious dishes. As in any form of art in the kitchen of the restaurant must be a Maestro, mentor-chef, culinary talents and impeccable taste which is appreciated not only colleagues but also visitors to restaurants.
The work of a chef requires a lot of effort, and it is much more difficult than it may seem at first glance. So what is he, the best chef, able to lead the team and create delicious dishes that do not leave indifferent even the most demanding connoisseurs.
The best chef in the eyes of the team:
• A professional in their field. He knows several cuisines, is well versed in them and can provide stable work regardless of the direction of the restaurant;
• Creative person. He is both an artist and a visionary. The best chef is not tasteless food, it is his unique dishes famous chef, it is unlikely that his menu can be found salad "Caesar" and rolls " California»;
• Team member. The team loves to work with him, he is not only a pleasant person who can lead people with his charisma, he gives a lot of valuable information, teaches, motivates, but does not spoil his subordinates and keeps away, he has patience and understanding, corrects the mistakes of chefs and helps in solving issues.The best chef is not a friend to his subordinate cooks, he is their boss. He will always stand "mountain", protect their interests, will do everything necessary to ensure that the team worked harmoniously and enthusiastically.Under his leadership, the kitchen is a single organism functioning like a Swiss watch.
* Chef is the root of the kitchen, it holds everything. He is the most important person in the restaurant, so he controls absolutely everything: the availability and freshness of products and preparations, the relevance and profitability of dishes, the cohesion and efficiency of the team.
* He admits his mistakes and considers them. A real chef will never be afraid to go into the hall, talk to guests, discuss misunderstandings and offer a compromise. He listens and consults with his team.
• Competently organized work of the team. The best chief, as a General of the armed forces, his actions are thought out. He's always three moves ahead of everyone. The best chef's kitchen can easily cope with any workload, even in his absence. This indicates a properly built technological process, a well-chosen professional team.

What is the best chef to guests
* Dishes from the chef of unsurpassed taste, but not osharashivayutgostya their appearance, so the chef is important to combine creativity and sophistication.
* Like any Creator, the chef's eyes should burn. At one look at it the guest should understand that for the chief it is not just work on which he comes from 9 to 5, and the main hobby of life, to skill and improvement in which he devotes not a small share of time.
* Presentability and openness. Unlike an ordinary cook, the chef must be able to communicate with the guest, accept praise, and in some cases, criticism. In this case, it is worth talking about maintaining the perfect appearance and the ability to keep the "face". The best chef should be able to appear before guests, properly and to the place to make compliments and attract visitors, be able to talk and maintain a conversation.
* The ability to make a "masterpiece" of simple improvised products. Cook a delicious dish of lobster or marbled beef under the power of any chef. As well as the desire to create dishes from a dozen exotic ingredients, not for the better says about the abilities of the cook. The chef must not only keep up with the times, but also be able to work out and come up with new, original dishes that will be remembered not by the uniqueness of its composition, but by the way of cooking and serving, comprising a bit of naturalness and enchanting combination of flavors, understandable to visitors.
However, 100% to determine the best chef can only be watching his work in the kitchen, in a team with subordinates and the rest of the staff and tasting the dishes created by him and embodied in life
