-Marina del Rey, CA
-So who's one of the strongest supporters of doing away with the "de facto" head chef position of head sous chef? How about the person holding that position herself?
Lynn Avi has stated that "[she] support[s] getting rid of the Head Sous Chef Designation because its role has differed in recent years. It was originally meant to be more of a messenger role, a liaison role between the head chefs and the sous chefs." Avi added, though, "Since its role has changed, and it is more like that of, what, in my case will be, a fourth head chef, I don't see its necessities personally."
Not wanting to raise eyebrows, Avi assured the argument was based on personal strategic thoughts and feelings and not a desire to get herself bumped up to Head Chef. "That is not my intention," she said. She added, "I felt the same way a few years back before I even knew I would have this position." She also was quick to comment, though, that even though she supported getting rid of the HSC designation, "it [did] not mean that I do not feel honored to have it."
Said Event Analyst Gary Alton, "She's just trying to cover all her bases with the comments she makes. No problems with that. The way these things can get misinterpreted, that's what she should be doing."
