He quickly adapted to the restaurants receipes and "systems" and before he knew it Chris was on his way up. After working hard for * months a rare opportunity came along when one of the Sous Chefs gave his notice of leaving. The Chef asked Chris if he wanted the position and responsability. Of course he accepted the challenge.
