Overall: chef patron in a restaurant in a five-star hotel" or something like that. At present, "culinary carreer" does not really bring across just how successful she has been with that, imo. (But I would accept ALT0, it's okay.) –LordPickleII (talk) 14:22, 8 September 2022 (UTC)]
- LordPeterII, thank you for your comments. That's a great point about the hook - what about these alternatives?

QPQ provided; and yeah I like the ALTs more, so I've struck the original one. Citation also in place, so ready to go. –LordPeterII (talk) 16:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: I've just removed it from the article as to avoid delving into hotel ratings. I think the fact that she opened a hotel restaurant in the capitol stills read like a commendable achievement.
