How a chef joins the roster.
Every chef on the network is an independent professional who passed the same gate: credentials, a paid trial service, insurance, and ongoing review against the standard.
The gate
- Credential and reference check — verifiable kitchens, verifiable years
- A paid trial service — we eat the cooking before you do
- Insurance and permits — county health requirements met per island
- Ongoing review — verified-event reviews feed the roster decision
What we don’t claim
