This is hard for me to believe but I have been in this industry for over twenty-five years. I have been very fortunate to have worked in many kitchens with many professionals. I will share some photos of the really great chefs and cooks I have worked with over the years. One of the best parts of working in the kitchen is the quality of the people you work with.
