Until Restaurants Change, Don’t Call Me ‘Chef’
The power the title implies has been a cover for bad behavior for far too long — and Reem Assil doesn’t want any part of it
Hasnain says:
Great read.
“At Reem’s, we’ve started to get rid of the notion that I’m the only creator. We are all creators and collaborators. I don’t have to have the vision every day — we can take turns being visionaries and executors. The pandemic has pushed us on a path to worker ownership and more democratic governance, which helps us all be accountable to the collective success of the business. I no longer feel lonely and isolated in this challenging era for restaurants because I struggle with my team rather than on behalf of my team.”
