The term “personal chef” gets thrown around as bourgeois decadency, but I can walk into any mini-mall in the country and requisition a “personal chef” to make me a hamburger for a few bucks and have it handed to me in under ten minutes.
Its frustrating to deal with the idea of hired help from the perspective of this weird “You should do your own chores!” nanny-mentality rather than a “Just pay them the value of their labor and its fine” Marxist view.
That’s a good way to look at it. The way my cousin explained it was this woman cooks for a handful of American expats over there, so I guess “personal” isn’t exactly accurate, but you get the idea. No idea what she’s being paid compared to cost of living and whatnot though. My cousin is fairly left leaning so I would like to think she’s paying fairly.
