I would say fierce competition from local and immigrant labor, low barrier to entry, a profession where hard work is seen as meritorious, and a very high ceiling of prestige and monetary reward. It’s one of the few remaining industries where a poor immigrant kid on the street can work his way up from nothing via grit and determination.

> and a very high ceiling of prestige and monetary reward Is it really? How much do the top chefs make?

  $50-$100k judging by Glassdoor, very location dependent, but at a high level comes the ability to partner in new restaurants and ventures. Also it’s a high ceiling relative to other jobs that require zero education.
