Do the buffet dinner places employ a professional chef to oversee food preparation?

everything seems to be displayed in a professional manner. salads are attractive, as well as the fruits and desserts. of so, my complements to the chef!

At the very least, someone is the boss of the kitchen, perhaps they have a chef at the headquarter store that does the instruction? They are pretty good!

Most places do employ a chef. And, that individual oversees the preparation, cooking, set up, etc., of the buffet line. (For example, in Nevada, as a matter of fact, all the casinos with buffets and / or restaurants have a chef. It's pretty much a given.)

no certified chef works at any chain style buffet, maybe at the corp level, but hopefully there is a very knowledge person running the kit, that may carry the title of chef, but i seriously doubt that he/she is certified. if it is a resort with a buffet that is totaly different and there probably is a certified chef on staff.

Yes, they do. Even the mom and pop operations have a chef who will assure you they are "professional". Most of these key personell have been through a formal education process in food handling and safety, and have had at least a few years of on the job training.
