  Hi Jamiecq, Be a specialist in certain area, a specialized chef usually command better pay. Build your character, style and be creative. If you can teach, better still. You may start a training class targeting the new chef. However, before you start. Ask yourself, are you sure you are good enough to deserve a good pay? Check with your friends, relatives for a second opinion. If the answer is yes, you are...then go ahead to be an excellent chef. If the answer is nay, find out your weakness and work hard to improve. Another way to become famous is to build relationship with customers. When they are returning because of you, not the restaurant; you can ask for a pay increase from your boss. Cheers!
