Sous Chef (Sommelier and Chef Jobs: Hotels)

  Hotel Sorrento

  Seattle, Washington

A Little About You:  You like the heat of the line and perfect nights. Yours is always the house chosen for cookouts and any other foodie type events. Each year you consider hosting a James Beard party as others would host an Oscars party. You know the difference between Red Russian and Redbor Kale. You think roasting pork should be an Olympic event because you’re pretty sure you could take the Gold. There’s a good chance your next career could be real estate mogul because you own your station like nobody’s business.
