Why Do Female Chefs Get Overlooked?

[pipoman]

2. As an

Executive Chef running 5 kitchens I have a difficult time recruiting women. All of my 4 pastry chefs are women, but chef de cuisine type cook applicants are rarely women. My son who is in culinary school at one of the largest and best known schools in the country has 42 people in his class, 7 are women. The road to becoming a chef in most restaurants, organizations, and facilities requires grueling hours and one can't be too thin skinned..bottom line is that there are easier ways to make the income of a beginning cook/chef without all the bs..
