The conventional wisdom from a modern professional standpoint is that  
that's impossible to do that with the degree of control someone like  
Chiquart had.

OTOH, you could divide your crowd into groups of about 500 people,  
place each in the hands of a chef with a small team of cooks and a  
kitchen setup, and all report to someone in charge of it all... and  
yes, there would have to be middle management (gasp!)
