'chef's boss maybe?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'rue a true star being redeployed' is the wordplay.
'being redeployed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rue'+'a'+'true'+'star'='rueatruestar'
'rueatruestar' anagrammed gives 'RESTAURATEUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?
