Actually they wouldn't. I know (client) an athlete that has a full time chef for his mother that lives 1200mi away from his primary residence. He also has a full time chef at his house. Know another one that has a full time chef at a house at which he spends maybe 90 days a year. I have a friend that is a full time chef at a compound in St. Barts who has never met the owner in two full years (ala robin masters). There are some hunting camps down near where Bot lives that have more than one full time chef during the season, ect..., ect....

You can easily get a chef where I live for about $500/week if you can let them go by eight so they can pull a night gig three days a week. We also have a local place where a bunch of broke chefs got together and you can either order off a menu or call in and pick up a fully prepared meal to take home and heat up and make it look like you prepared (similar but different than take out because it....well, it just is)
