Now Havana is advertising "Under New Management" when all they did was replace the chef? Give be a break! This is one of the many reasons we won't dine there anymore.

Actually... In a properly run organization, the Chef is a member of executive management.... Often the principal operator of the business. Most "accredited" Chef's I know have M.B.A's on top of practical and formal culinary educations. Incidently, the Chef's salary is often more than the GM's and the owners cut of the profit. So for Havana to have a new Chef, if that person is actually an "accredited" chef, would certainly constitute "New Management".
