paw4 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Simon Wood @SimonJWoodUK 2m2 minutes ago Fantastic news on my future as I can announce that I have now been appointed as the Executive Chef @OfficialOAFC I thought it said Executive Chief at first! A very positive move for the club, but don't feed the players they would all end up with arse's like Gregan's ( surely the biggest arse in football, now that's a good talking point ).

I hope he does get involved with the pies, I hear Norwich's are awesome especially Delia's beef in red wine gravy I thought the first thing she did when she took over was bring in Hollands pies.

Fyldelatic Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 As executive chef, he may not be involved in day-to-day running of the kitchen in North Stand, but will create menus and inspire the food service. A bit like having Gordon Ramsay as executive chef at BA - he won't be cooking for them but his signature dishes will feature in First and Business Class in-flight meals etc. A man of his talent shouldn't be cooking at OEC but running his own restaurant and giving his inspiration to menus at external venues.

jimsleftfoot Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I did think that at first but given he's not worked professionally as a chef before, I think he will be more closely involved, Exec Chef is another name for head chef, though I can imagine it being used by those in consultancy type roles as well as you say.

Fyldelatic Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The announcement does state he will create menus and attend on special occasions. So probably not his day job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said he will be in charge of creating and developing, but will rarely cook for the customers. I am sure it will be for the OEC. Though the fact the catering is coming in house, could be a good sign that he will have more input than normal. Agree with others. Copy the Delia or Kidderminster model.
