Sloppy, Snarky and Silent

Chef Cliff Crooks works with three chefs with very different issues. Aiden has been the head chef of Blue Mermaid Island Grill in Kittery, Maine, for years, but he's timid, and the restaurant's owner questions whether he can lead a kitchen. Pat was recently promoted to head chef of Beefeater's Tavern in Horseheads, N.Y., but his sloppy appearance and subpar culinary skills threaten his success. Finally, Shy has spent 16 years running the kitchen at McGeary's Pub in Albany, N.Y., but she has an attitude problem that could mean the end of her run.
