*If the chef cares about what the customer thinks then he/she truly cares about what he/she dishes out...well done!*

I like how humble she is in the way she bosses her workers. She doesn't yell or makes them feel ashamed or stupid, instead she just corrects them and makes them feel good to work with her. She is amazing. Plus she gets involved hands on hands with them, not just sits around.

[lawncee]

She seems like such a respectable and demanding head chef. Props to her

[tonytony]

She's the boss and yet serves the line like anybody else !
True leader!

I have worked in a number of restaurants with buffets and as a banquet chef, this chef is an ass-kicker and I would love to work for her. Bravo chef.

Sees a negative Yelp review, sees if it is a legit complaint, fixes it before next service... Wish all restaurants were all this good

[MikeRetroModz]

I admire that she actually reads their bad yelp reviews and try to improve upon it, Wow.
Every business should do that.

"Our buffet has the best food. I'll throw down with anybody."
That's the kind of energy I want every buffet chef to bring.

[GUESSMYZAIS]

I love how she appears to be respectful in her approach towards staff and follows up with a thank you, great job etc... a very important quality in a leader.

This woman is a force of nature!!! I'd go to Las Vegas just to eat Bravo to her and her staff!!!

I've lived in Vegas for over 15 years.. I've tried EVERY buffet... this is hands down the best buffet!!! EVERYTHING was good and FRESH!! I literally got so full the last time I went, I had to take a nap in my car in the parking garage before I could even drive to go home...😭😭😭😭

A lot of people don't get to see this side of Las Vegas. The prep that goes behind a tourist's favorite amenities. All the chefs, dishwashers, and janitors. The blue collar backbone of Las Vegas. Real Vegas people.

Here’s a tip: buy the 24hr/$100 buffet pass(any Caesar own buffet property) start w dinner comeback the next day early for breakfast, do lunch and finally back to dinner 👌🏽

[buckboardhc]

Wow she is something else!! What a great chef, humble and with so much energy. Anybody in the food industry can look up to this lady!

In May I stayed in Vegas for five days for EDC2019. My friends and I went to the Bacchanal two times for breakfast and one time for dinner and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend this place and the bottomless mimosa are sooo good ☺️ the lady serving them didn’t allow my glass to go empty. She was stealthy like a ninja just refill after refill 😂 I love this place

[JohnQuach]

Big props to the teams that make good buffet food. Serving huge quantities of people and ensuring the quality is consistent is tough.

[Jay-sodk]

This woman is amazing, no wonder shes been there for 6👍 she makes sure everything is running smoothly and good. To be honest I want to go eat there because of her and this video 👌

[astridgonzalez]

Notice how she uses "we" instead of "I" when she talks about being the best.

[andrewgarratt]

It always warms my heart to see someone immigrate to the US, climb the ladder and achieve success doing something they are passionate about, like this lady. Such an inspiration!

[smokiedapoo]

I got tired just watching her work. That woman has stamina.
