What general advice would you give to a Chef De Partie?
Tonya Whitfield: The restaurant industry has been moving toward self-sustaining practices. What can we do to reduce costs outside of our establishment? One thing is more skills in butchering and fabrication. By bringing in whole primal or subprimal cuts or whole fish, I can reduce cost by breaking it down myself. Sustainability is here to stay. Sourcing from local farms and community seems to be the future.
What Chef De Partie skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Tonya Whitfield: The more skills you can obtain while in college and/or training the higher the wage. For example, I trained in classical culinary techniques. My college offers certificates that specialize in Meat & Seafood fabrication and Baking & Pastry. Why not take that extra class or two to gain more technical training to make me more of a value higher. My pay is higher due to my skill being more. Plus, I am saving the employer training hours which will benefit for higher pay.
