Head Chef Jess
" I love seeing people grow into their roles and exceed the expectations they have for themselves. Getting to see the buffet presented at the end of every day and getting the freedom to do garnishes and making it look really nice. A lot of people have the misconception about the food here, that it's just putting it in a tray and serving it, but I think that you have the ability to make it look like you would on a plate. It's really a great environment to work to be able to do that."
