Demand for Western Chefs?

Hello,

This is my first post so thank you for reading. I've just completed a contract in the Caribbean and currently considering coming back to SE Asia in early January. I am a well rounded, American executive private chef and consultant with nearly 20 years in the industry. Many of those years have been spent traveling, studying and working around the world so I have an impressive international repertoire and a variety of skills. In 2012  I spent most of the year traveling all over SE Asia so my cooking has a distinct Asian style with some Mexican, Jamaican and American gastropub mixed in.

I didn't get to visit Myanmar last time and I would love a chance to live, work, learn and teach in such an amazing country. My friends that are living there tell me how wonderful it is and I would like to join them if there are opportunities for a Chef such as myself. So I have a few questions:

Could anyone tell me what the demand is for Western Chefs in Myanmar at the moment?

Would Yangon be the only city I could potentially find work or do island resorts higher western chefs?

What are the chances of turning up without having a job lined up and finding work?

What is the average pay for an executive chef?

Is there any demand for high end live-in private chefs?

Would it be possible to start my own mobile street food stand? Like a modified tuk tuk "food truck"? Maybe Jamaican Jerk chicken and gourmet tacos.

I prefer small bistros, gastropubs and bar/grills rather than large corporate chains or hotels but will consider all offers. Please have a look at my website and if you would like a copy of my CV or would like to discuss any available positions you might know of please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

John Torsch
