What's a Garde Manager?

Garde Manager: This term originated in France and means "keeper of the food". Generally speaking, it refers to the kitchen position that prepares the cold food items such as salads and desserts but also hot items like soups and hors d'oeuvres. At AZUR, this is an entry level position in the kitchen hierarchy but very important because the food presentation is often the first and last item of a meal that the guest is served.
