Yes... only.....
Bio engineer is hands down one of the most time consuming professions in the game
Especially if you want to be a good BE. It's nearly impossible to do all aspects of bio engineering and be able to do them well and keep a vendor fully supplied with clones, pet stims, tissues, and now additives.
Chef... on top of all that......

Sounds like a nice challenge then 
I was looking for a gritty crafting side of the game could this be it then ?

In addition to the above reasons you would have to be Artisan 0433 in order to become a chef :-P not 0333..heh

LOL, if you are Master BE/Master CHef/Artisan 0/4/4/4, good luck doing anything BE... you need some way to defend yourself buddy, and you gotta be able to sneak up on stuff like rancors

Personally, I'd dump the 9 points in toExploration III from the Scout tree.
You'll find it really, really hard to sample high level critters even with +25 Mask Scent clothes, but it'll be a lot easier than not having Mask Scent and Terrain Negotiation at all ;o)

You don't really have to be able to fight. Just get a very nice set of Advanced Ubese Armor, anytime a big thing aggros you put your armor on and walk or run away. I never die sampling, Adv Ubese saves the day. Even Mutant rancors just tap me as I walk off till they lose interest So its possible to be a non-combat BE, but it is absolutely necessary that you have some Mask Scent Scout skills if you are going to get any good DNA.
I thought about being a BE/Chef myself, but never took up Chef. They are right BE is a very time consuming class if you are going to be a good one. Adding Chef on top of BE would make for alot of time resource gathering and buying and surveying and tending your factories and and and, heh

Im master armorsmith and master bio engineer only cause I was a bio eng fencer and dropped fencer to follow holo but after grind quit the jedi chase. I have to say don't expect to do any sampling without any offensive capabilities. One time I was running in circles in front of coronet starport and yelling help as this butterfly was about to incap me. Not fun.
So I gave up on sampling unless the guy who wants the pet or pet furniture was there to defend me. Other than that I am having a blast.

Really not sure how people die, hehe. I just gave the answer to any character with no combat abilities on how to survive. ARMOR Every monster will lose interest in you if you walk/run far enough off from it. Then its just a matter or reapplying Mask Scent and going in again. I have never asked to have an escort along with me and see no need for it, unless you want to have someone following you around being bored as they watch you poke needles into everything. Play smart and its easy to get by with no weapons and be a successful BE.

I would split the chef/BE duties between the to characters, as I did. That master artisan helps, gives you good survey, a great time saver, plus you can make master artisan components and speeders. You'll need the electronics for barrels and the survey for all the resources. On top of that take up some merchant for a couple vendors.
Your BE needs good combat to get all the meat you need, unless you have people willling to harvest for you. BE/Chef on one char is hard to do. There are things you need to pull that off and it doesn't come on just one char.
