That being a chef

It was quite hard, but I thought it was a good thing that happened because he realised that being a chef was not his cup of tea (laughs). That being a chef was not what he wanted to do (laughs).
What is the grammatical function of "That being a chef" is? Is "what he wanted to do" a noun clause?
