Chef Quainoo explained that chefs played a vital role in showcasing a hotel or restaurant’s brand and identity stressing that it was a fact that their innovative dishes and menus reflected the establishment’s values, style, and commitment to quality, setting it apart from competitors.
“Without Chefs, the restaurant would be empty, our hotels would lack warmth, and our tourism industry would suffer, hence it’s time we celebrate their contributions and treat them with respect and the admiration they deserved,” he added.
