In a celebrity chef's restaurant, will the named chef be present in their restaurant during lunch?

Question

Say I go there for lunch: will the celebrity chef prepare my food?

if not, when do they work in their restaurants?

Answer 1

Probably not although it depends on the celebrity themselves.  I would like to think that perhaps Gordon Ramsay would.  He is awesome.

Answer 2

Very unlikely. Those celebrity chefs have a huge workload. take Gordon Ramsay for instance, that guy has 18 restaurants all over the world and  does a lot of TV work, not to mention  the charity work that he does.  Jaimie Oliver has a new book out on a regular basis plus HIS TV commitments as well. They don't become celebrity chefs by hiding in the kitchen all the time .

Answer 3

they're there from open to close.  and the easter bunny is the maitre'd, santa claus is the cook and the tooth fairy is your waitress.

Answer 4

it depends if the restaurant has a big lunch crowd the chief may do one or two lunches a week, but for the most part the named chef owner works the prime dinner hours only mostly Friday sat nights.
