They also collaborate with local farmers and artisan vendors to meet a wide variety of product needs. Sous Chefs are expected to be role models of attitude, composure, and control in everything they do, while also pushing themselves, their peers, and their leaders to continue innovating and improving efficiency in every aspect.
