Very cool of the restaurant to realize how important family is and they give this opportunity to the head chef. But as someone in the business I'm just surprised they don't have a sous chef or two able to step their game up a bit and run the kitchen for two weeks. Most second in line are dying for a chance to move up a notch. If they are not capable then a lot of restaurants will use a "guest" chef in these cases. The dishes sometimes take on the unique flair of the new chef, but that novelty can be marketed by the restaurant and just seen as a breath of fresh air and a temporary or "seasonal" twist.

If the food was good, this move would earn my loyalty.

"You will take two weeks holiday on this date, you will go to Thailand, and you will see your family, any questions?"
"Yeah, uh, I kinda wanted to go to Disneyland this year.."
