Do you have to take the stupid useless classes like math and English social science and that other stuff? Or do you just learn about food and restaurant stuff?

I’m 30 years old. I’ve worked in farming, jewelry, gaming (blackjack/poker) and I’ve worked in fast food restaurants, smokehouse breweries, sports bars and pubs both in the kitchen and front of house off and on in between the other industries. After all of my experiences I’m still struggling to find myself and what I want to do with my life. I feel like at 30 my life is just beginning. I’m thinking of going to culinary school to be able to earn more as a manager instead of a line cook, but I’m still not sure what I’m going to do. One thing I know is that you’re absolutely right about the toxic environment and substance abuse. Being in a kitchen with low life people can be one of the most stressful jobs anybody can experience so I think culinary school is only necessary if you have a specific goal in mind. Like studying pastries or certain techniques, or becoming a manager faster than slaving at the company for 5+ years. Thank you for the video

Hate the clack of the knife

Great information..thank you!

If you aren't tough, the restaurent industry will make you an alcoholic, smoker, and/or suicidal. I know most cooks to be like this, including myself. You'll have to deal with sexual harrasment and bullying from most kitchens. That has been my experience at least.

What you mean it can be hard to leave the job ?

Now I wanna be a bariste, just cuz it looks hot to be

It's a pity you can't like it multiple times :) I would if I could. It turned out soooo delicious.

I really really would to steal be able to go to the spot back there. I love your personality and smile

it's okay I'm also culinary student so i can understand

공부 집중하는데 도움이 되네요

I went to culinary school 10 years ago, never was passionate about it, but it's what I had available, I hate it and want to leave

Great video mate, i'm looking to start a Chef Apprentiship. I love cooking and can chop things well.

Hey bro

My god I miss being prep, especially morning prep. No one fucks with you, you get to taste everything, no orders, no detailing everything after having your ass kicked, just knocking out batches and prepping sauces and seasonings then bye-bye. Good times.

Hi, I am high school student and I love cooking so much I recently got hired by an Italian restaurant am im going to start working this week, but I started to doubt my skills and I’m so nervous about it. Is there any tips? (Also sorry English is not my first language)

i read gordon's ramsay book and he said that when he went to guy savoy he had to start from commis even tho he was with marco for several years, obviously not all kitchens are at the same level

Thank you

Hi. Random question: we are a farm about to do our first lettuce delivery (mixed leaves) to a high end restaurant. Which of the following ways would win us points for delivering it correctly: 1. plastic bag, 2. polycarbonate food pan lined with paper towel (or no liner?), 3. SS food pan lined with paper towel (or no liner?), or 4. other?

How can i apply?

Is working in a cafe a similar experience to restaurant?

You guys are goals!!

day rate - wtf, looking for intern dishwashers.

THANK YOU! I HAD A REALLY ROUGH MORNIG. I WAS CHEATED AND BULLIED. THIS CALMED MY SOUL.

Fair enough buddy. I wish that you found your path. Its been 2 years now. I hope that you found things you love doing and make you happy. You are right about being a chef, it can totally eat you up side ways. ❤

This is what happens when you figure out the boss’s identity

Keep doing videos.

Lmaooo I forget some people work in higher end restaurants where they have to work for promotions. I was a dishwasher and they decided to throw me on the line one day and kept me there. I was actually upset I got promoted 😂

well tf am I supposed to for work then?? Restaurant industry sucks for the hours and demands, tech industry sucks because of all the GROPING and sexual harassment, politics suck because honest people get chewed out and spat, retail isn't long-term, neither is sports, construction will break down your body and requires a lot of experience before entering and anything in academia sucks because they're doing away with tenured and paying less. There is literally no industry that won't make your life hell

So many good one in Richmond.

School won't teach you how to burn on a line

You didn’t mention the Constant standing pacing back and forth picking up heavy pots pans sheet treys using your arms and hands fast and consistently to the point where arthritis and carpal tunnel are common conditions among line cooks or the stress of seeing over 25 plus orders with over 80 plus items changes to dishes remember which items go with what ticket remembering all the recipes knowing how to work with fire hot metal and sharp knife’s quickly under stress and pressure without cutting your finger off or getting too bad of a burn the kitchen is a hell scape if you know someone who works in a kitchen respect them if they ask for a favor like hey babe can you wash the dishes or can you feed the cats could you heat my food up etc do it for them because compared to a line cook your life is not hard

Kinfe sound like fruit ninja

2 months in to chef work! after working as potwash on and off for 3 years then eventually got offered a commi chef job and asdeep cleaning kitchen before working as a chef so knew where everything goes and picked up some knife skills, But what tips do people have for someone with no experience going into a kitchen ???

I was taking a culinary degree and I took a savory course and I passed but when I took a baking class I was receiving a lot of hard discipline from a Chef named Chef Maureen Leonard I already tried the course 3 times and I can't pass it so just like you I switched my major to a hotel/ business version of my degree and I go to Tri-c Cuyahoga Community College. The reason why the baking course was hard for you because you had a bad teacher that taught the baking course and you must had a very good teacher that taught the savory cooking course. I had a very good teacher named Chef KY that really helped and taught me how to cook. That is how my culinary school experience went. That's how life works there's good and bad teachers and good and bad people.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

How much experience in cooking did you have BEFORE entering school??

You gotta work in a kitchen to gain experience then find a kitchen that you can move up in (a restaurant with an owner operator and line cooks is not the place) then master your craft, work in a nicer restaurant, become head chef, start your own restaurant, start many. It’s a career that takes 10+ years.

I don’t mind cooking 12 hours or prepping food. I hate working in restaurants requiring you do every thing, and added stuff saying you need to be efficient

For me I have an interest in cooking but i'm not sure if I wanna do it as a career. Close the thing I was considering doing is being a plumber because I'm not exactly sure what I wanna do, I would rather do something that maybe helpful to people while learning a useful skill
