POV of a Cook | Breakfast, Lunch and Opening a Restaurant 🍔🧀🍳🤯🔥🥚

[@dubse510]

Hey Alex, I recently graduated college and I now work in finance. Man I cannot tell you how I love to watch your videos and listen to the background of you cooking. Throughout college, I worked in many kitchens and somehow the sounds your videos produce bring me back to a happier time during my undergradutate career where I felt: secure, happy, and ready-for-the-world. I used to hate working in kitchens, but now that I hate my current job, I absolutely miss the passion it took to work in a kitchen. Thank you.

[@Seebeejeebees]

You can always use your finance job to gain enough capital to either start a restaurant or invest in one! It's a tough industry, for sure, but if you believe it's your passion, I know you can make it! Don't give up, you got this.

I always appreciate when a cook pre sprays any dishes before us dishwashers come in. It's soooo helpful. Because nothing gets all dry and crusty which will take more time for us to clean thus making the kitchen slower

I love the disbelief in your voice when you read that order. "A burger in the morning. For real?". 🤣🤣🤣

As someone who worked night shift for a long time, whenever me and my coworkers went to a diner near by we always ordered burgers at like 7am lol we never wanted breakfast and we always got judgemental looks

As someone who works in food service, it is comforting to know that I'm not the only person who has to clean up messes left by the night guy. As soon as I saw that bacon left out I nodded my head and said "Yep. I know it."
