A very interesting process as after the interview, I went back for the actual cooking demonstration the very next day and all went well. I was even allowed, in fact encouraged, to sit in on the class presentations to get a feel for the day-to-day. From there, it has been complete radio silence.
I find this especially curious because scheduling, duties, and salary was discussed in-depth. Why go down that path if you have no further interest?
Not only have they lost a potential Chef, but a customer as well.
