I know there are a lot of long hours, I was just trying to figure how many hours are put in a day and what time do you usually go to work/come home. thanks

I am currently working as a cafe worker in a cafe-restaurant in Finland and when I come to work at 10am the chef is already there. He probably arrives at 9 or earlier since we open at 9am. He and his assistant leave 17:30. This happens Monday through Friday. However, he also works on Saturdays from 12pm to 6pm as far as I know. Everyone has got 20 minutes lunch break. No other breaks unless there are very few customers.

Chef hours are completely dependent on the type of restaurant or catering facility they work with. In other words, when a chef works in a 24 hour diner or hotel restaurant is going to be vastly different than a chef who works in a restaurant that is find dining/dinner only. There is no way to know unless you ask the specific establishment that uses a chef.
