I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere earlier in this thread or the other - but who is she? Does she really work for him? Anybody know? Maybe she's been working with him a little too long Maybe she was told to add more drama to the show? ← Possibly, though I find it interesting that no one said ANYTHING in response to her for adding to the mess after the kids' party. Both she and the gentleman sous chef on the show are employees of his; I know Mary Ann is a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Ed here in Manhattan. ← New member here, hello everyone. That guy in the show that is the sous chef if noone has already mentioned it is Scott Leibfried who is also on Food Network. He does the food challenge shows.
