That's amazing. How did he even get hired? You'd think there would at least have been one red flag.

I think the dude could actually cook. He'd been a chef at a resort in the Caribbean previous to that... makes sense: he cooked somewhere out of the country and I'm not sure if the owners reached out to that place.

He was a pushy prima Donna chef with ego and swagger. Dude was a skilled bullshitter who talked over people and I immediately didn't like him but I'm sure he knew how to sell himself when he was interviewed.

The guy who replaced him was also a total dick (what is it with chefs?) But at least he could hold it together. Amusingly you could tell he didn't want to be there: it was a Mexican place and he put meatloaf and a seared ahi tuna sandwich on the menu. His concession was adding cilantro, chilies or something to them. I left that place a few months later and he didn't last much longer
