THROUGHOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY, HAVE YOU NOTICED A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KITCHENS THAT ARE RUN BY MEN VS. KITCHENS THAT ARE RUN BY WOMEN? IF SO, WHAT WAS THIS DIFFERENCE, AND HOW DID IT IMPACT THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT WHILST PREPARING FOOD?
Funnily enough, I have never worked in a kitchen run by men. I love the one that ran by a woman. It is a lot more about feeling, senses, and emotion in a good way. The kitchen run by gay is fun, creative, and pretty. I did not see that much difference between different gender. If the chef who runs the kitchen is passionate, committed, and love what they do. The food is always great. How they deal with other chefs or they’re under can be categorized by gender but by their character and personality.
