The interviewer needs to hear that you can handle a little stress in your work. Simply tell the interviewer that you are accustomed to meeting deadlines, having a busy workload, and working under stress. Be sure to mention that you never let stress get the best of you, and you know how to delegate work to the right people to help you manage your workload.

"Absolutely! I handle stress as gracefully as possible. As a line cook, stress is par of the work. We often have multiple balls in the air at the same time and managing that stress is a large part of what we do. I welcome the stress to challenge me and am sure to always maintain my best qualities as a professional during stressful times. If needed, I will enlist the support of my team to meet stressful deadlines or tasks."
