I think the site is too busy, way over-animated. The chef logo is okay. Clicking the "what's new takes the user to a page with a different background and look, so it may seem to some they've left the site. Entries which look like links aren't clickable or intereactive in any way I can fathom.

"Menu's To Order" offers zero information. Most restaurant patrons, given the check before any information as to what they will get, would leave. In other words all check, no menu. The reviews of gadgets were throughouly unsatisfying.

In summation the site lacks a common look and feel to all pages, has non standard elements which look interactive but aren't, and precious little information. It might serve well to visit other sites, and see what these other chef sites do to see what users expect. Having actual chefs go through the site might indicate, for instance, food price forcasts and patron taste trends, staff management and training.

DCrux pretty much summed it up.

Being an ex-chef myself, your domain name caught my eye. However, upon entering your site...

my eyes needed deep-tinted sunglasses to guard against the globe-spinning, headline flashing, text-on-fire, status-bar scrolling pages.
All of which are out.

Down to basics. You should start with a 1 page design with which to serve as the basis of your site.
Try to keep it clean, crisp and organized.
