Chef Williams is the executive chef at Café Sorrel, an upscale restaurant in Philadelphia. Until Emoni learns her name, she simply refers to her as “the chef.” Emoni first meets Chef Williams when ’Buela takes her to Café Sorrel for lunch. Later, Chef Williams attends the Winter Dinner and gives Emoni her card, as she’s impressed with Emoni’s cooking. Unwittingly, Chef Williams encourages Emoni to go back to culinary arts class with Chef Ayden, as she knows Chef Ayden and says that he’ll prepare Emoni well for a career in the restaurant industry. At the end of the novel, Chef Williams hires Emoni at Café Sorrel.
