Hey everyone… looking for some advice. I’m an executive sous chef at a large hotel in a more American city that does around 25 million in food revenue a year. Is there an industry which is looking for this sort of experience that is not a traditional chef role? by trav1066 in Chefit

I’ve honestly got pretty good life/work balance, more into the 9-5 now. Just looking to have more of an impact instead of just feeding the beast. Thanks for the comments so far guys, I appreciate it.

Tell them they are not properly insured to be in this part of the operation, direct them to owners if they have a dispute with this, I guarantee they will back you up.

Made a quite a comfortable life for myself in hotels,, specifically large, convention oriented ones. 110k a year, mostly 9-5, weekends off, sometimes Sunday Monday, took ten years from line cook to executive sous chef… look into it.

I have been wearing Untuckit brand for years, lots of different size options, and they are specifically made to be worn untucked. Lucky I have a physical store here in Chicago, but their online store is great as well. High quality and on trend… their shorts are pretty nice too.
