Welcome.
If you're going to stay in the food service industry get out of the cooking side as soon as possible.
The hours are long and the pay sucks, as a bonus you do get stand all day long.

 

^i've realized that already, but i like good food too much :/

 

that isn't 100% true. I have a rare Chefs job that is no late nights, very limited weekend(like 2 a year) work, off all holidays and get compensated pretty well. All depends on what you are looking for.

 

jeez, where the fuck joo work?

 

like you say it's rare but not unpossible

in general though it's a tough career

 

Hey Trey. I got a U joint for you to blow.

 

bet you do fgt

 

Executive Chef for Arnold and Porter LLP

It has been a very long 17 years...

 

I gave it up after about 15 years; started at 16 yrs old dishwashing, worked a bunch of mom and pops, then moved up to some nice 4 and 5 star resort hotels.

And then I got a job Richmond as the Garde Manger Chef for the OMNI hotel downtown, totally killed it for me.

Now I make three times as much money doing drafting and design work and no more 60hr weeks.

 

well, glad to see a couple other people do/ did appreciate cooking. that sounds like a nice line up Nib. i went from waiting to every non-cooking food job i could find (panera, smoothie king, moe's etc...) and now im at the Cans :/ hard ass job but i love what i'm doing.
