How will you promote yourself?

2 Sharp Chefs met Chef Joana Rodriguez while they were all feisty line cooks working the opening at Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres on the Las Vegas Strip. The young cook displayed so much skill and potential already. Rodriguez was a badass, but she kept her “head down and worked hard” as many will tell you to follow in the professional kitchen.

She moved on to help open Carbone at Aria, Chef Daniel Humm’s Nomad at Park MGM, and Chef David Chang’s Majordomo Meat & Fish - where she’s now the Executive Sous Chef. Did we mention Rodriguez also did a stint at multiple Michelin starred Joel Robuchon?

So what does she want to tell all of us about getting ahead in the hospitality business? Speak the F up! The chef tells Lorraine Moss and Louiie Victa how she gets cooks to be team players, why she’s hiring most candidates who want to work right now, and what she does when guys walk right by her when looking for the boss.
