I like cooking with a partner, but we tend to choose before starting who is the chef and who is the sous for that meal. The sous just preps and keeps the space tidy and fetches shit while the chef orchestrates and cooks. This is a heck of a lot more fun, and then the chef can be like “go set the table” or “start washing up” once there’s nothing else needed. Keeps it moving
I mean it’s great cooking with people that have a teamwork mindset just like in a good restaurant. But with backseat chefs that barge in halfway through the cooking process wanting you to change up the whole meal it just doesn’t work. It’s like…OK but why didn’t you tell me an hour ago? And this is gonna double the dishes to clean.

This also allows one of you to respond to every command with “Yes, Chef!” which is fun.
