“I work 12- to 14-hour days. This is only my third day off in a month. My social life is nonexistent. My friends are my co-workers. I work, I go home — that’s it. For women who hold families, marriages, and babies as priorities, this is not the field for them. You’re really married to your job.”
— Kim Wells, head chef at Reno’s Skyline Kitchen & Vine
