And Now You Know

  • Over the years the practice of splitting the time of the Restaurant Co-Chefs has varied. Some split the year, one chef working November to May and the other May to November, other co-chefs have split the week, one on site Monday to Wednesday the other Thursday to Sunday (See Inside Scoop).
