Sea Dog Steak & Ale in Northborough, Mass., is a brewpub known for its signature beers. The owners called in Anne Burrell and the Chef Wanted team to help them find a new executive chef who would take on the task of reinventing the restaurant as a gastropub. After two grueling tests and two hectic dinner services, an offer was extended to Chef Amie Hurd.

Through the tests and dinner services, Chef Hurd showed she understood beer by incorporating it into many of her dishes. Unfortunately, her lack of experience working with a large crew showed during dinner service — she wouldn't give up control of her dishes to her team by delegating tasks. But by the end she realized she couldn't keep up without putting trust in her team. The owners felt she was the best person for the job and that with time she'd gain the experience required to run the restaurant, so they offered her the position.
