: A personal chef wrote to me asking me if I choose the clients menu. My reaction was "What?" I guess that some personal chefs do that. Wow! Having to make those decisions would put alot of pressure on me. After all, if you go into a restaurant, you don't let the chef pick what you are going to eat, do you?

: So, call me curious: how many of you pick the menu for your client? Now, how many of you let the client pick the menu?

: TIA,

I choose my clients' menus. Part of this service is to offer people more variety, and if the client chose the menu, they would probably end up having the same things all the time.(Of course, the menu is based on detailed knowledge of the client's food preferences and restrictions.) There is nothing I love more than to go to a restaurant and ask the chef to create a meal for us, and discover wonderful new dishes you may never have ordered.
