Based on the context, something like "the cobbler's children have no shoes" meaning they are too busy doing paid work for others to the same work for themselves.

I don't think it's related to too many chef's in the kitchen. More a reference to chefs having a spotless kitchen at their day job, but a messy kitchen at home. Likewise for plumbers.

"Too many chefs in the kitchen" is the first one. Not sure about the second, but probably the same kinda thing.

There is a required reference here to "Too Many Cooks". Thanks, Adult Swim!
