Someone's In The Kitchen

Were we the only ones wondering why...

Chef Tom stayed and ate in the kitchen this week?

Well, Chef Tom answers this question in his blog.

From Chef Tom's blog:

Question: WHY WERE YOU IN THE KITCHEN DURING SERVICE AND WHAT DID YOU SEE?

Chef Tom:I thought it was important for me to be there. We heard grumbles that some of the chefs weren't working right in the kitchen, and I wanted to see how each chef directed the other chefs and teammates and how they interacted with the front of house people. I don't think I made them nervous being there -- I just watched them. I got to eat everything cooked in the kitchen, and it was great watching them work and seeing who took responsibility and stepped up. I found Sara really in command of her teammates. She had them make stuff over when it wasn't right. The other team was too lax in letting stuff go out that wasn't right.

Mystery solved! Whew, we thought he was in a time out from the other judges and just did not want the chefs to know. He looked so alone in there.
