Chef Interview Questions
In an interview for a position as a chef, you can expect to be asked questions about how passionate you are about food, your experience in a commercial kitchen and your ability to work under pressure. A chef must also be a good leader, so expect questions about how you can lead a team in the kitchen.
Top Chef Interview Questions & How To Answer
Here are three top chef interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
Question No. 1: Have you ever been responsible for updating a menu or creating your own seasonal menu?
How to answer: The interviewer wants to get an idea of your experience with this question. Explain what type of menu you would create, making sure you tie the dishes in with the restaurant's theme and atmosphere.
Question No. 2: Tell me about a time when you handled a disappointed customer. What did you do, and what was the result?
How to answer: This two-part question will give the interviewer some insight into how you deal with customers and your conflict-resolution skills. You can first acknowledge that most chefs have food returned at some point in their career. Tell them how you calmly asked what the problem was and prioritised replacing the dish.
Question No. 3: What is your signature dish?
How to answer: With this question, the interviewer wants to get an idea of what type of chef you are. Make sure you research the restaurant's menu before the interview and incorporate your signature dish to fit in with the overall style of the menu.
Both the rounds of interview were conducted in structured format where the panelists ask questions related to candidate's experience. They also gave scenarios to which candidates had to respond appropriately.

You have a bouquet of flowers. All but two are roses, all but two are daisies, and all but two are tulips. How many flowers do you have?
44 Answers↳
3 flowers - 1 rose, 1 daisy and 1 tulip
↳
The solution is quite simple, if you start with the “All but 2” first: Roses = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a rose; one tulip, one daisy Daisies = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a daisy; one rose, one tulip Tulips = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a tulip; one rose, one daisy Answer: One rose, one daisy, one tulip.

I would say, "Do you consider three flowers to be a bouquet?"
Pepsi or coke?
32 Answers↳
Water!
↳
Personally, I can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi and I try to limit my consumption of soft drinks because they are unhealthy. If you compare the ingredients in in a can of Coke vs. a can of Pepsi, they are essentially the same, but everybody has their particular brand affiliation. That's really where these beverage producers excel: branding. And I think UnitedHealth could learn a lot from Coke and Pepsi in terms of branding and PR. The insurance industry in general isn't always seen in the best light and I think that's something I could really help with, marketing UnitedHealth's services so that customers have the same positive feelings they do towards Coke and Pepsi.

An apple costs 20 cents, an orange costs 40 cents and a grapefruit costs 60 cents, how much is a pear?
22 Answers↳
This question is meant to be asked verbally so what you hear is Pear but what they mean is PAIR. So the issue is can you think beyond past paterns or are you predisposed to thinking linearly. Oh yeah... a pair is 2. Less

How does the internet work?
19 Answers↳
Hamster wheels

The internet, as it is called in the vernacular, is a packet-switched network. This means that each transmission of, for example, a file, is broken onto packets of information, and each one contains the source and destination information, a sequence number that indicates what order the packets are supposed to be re-assembled in, a code that can be used to correct errors or identify bad packets, along with the actual payload data. Special computers called switches and routers read the source and destination data and send the transmitted packet to the correct digital address, ideally by the shortest timewise route, but not always. the many packets that contain a single file may individually be sent along several paths to get to the destination, depending on congestion and load and latencies. The received packets are stored in the destination equipment until all are present and any defective packets have been re-transmitted and received and checked again, then the original file is re-assembled in the correct order for use.

you are on a biz trip and travelling from one city to another. you have a stack of unsorted flight boarding passes. only departure city and destination city are on the boarding pass. how do you find the first departure city and your final destination city
15 Answers↳
Your current location is your departure city. Your final destination is the city whose name occurs only once among all the city names minus your departure city. Less
↳
Why wouldn't you just look at all of the cities listed on the documents and the two which don't ever repeat are your departure and destination city. (For the two that don't repeat, one will only be listed as a departure and the other one will be the one that is only listed as a destination.) Less
↳
Assume this is a acyclic graph (a city is not visited again once you leave it). Now, arrange the boarding passes and note the number of times a city appears in departure as well as arrival. For all intermediate cities this number will be the same. For the initial city the arrival-departure = -1 and for the destination arrival-departure = +1. Now, you start traversing from there. Form a table where you take each node and note the next node. For cyclic graphs it is more complex. You will still find the initial and destination city the same way but the traversal will be hard.
