Honestly I feel like this is true and I've just been looking at cooking jobs the wrong way. Cause I can't cook for s***, but I was looking at cook jobs. Then again, it's hot as s***, miserable, and comparatively they don't make much so meh.

I wouldve been the type of customer to roast yo ass lmao. Be like "yo ol flipping steaks ass nigga 🤣"

Worked at panera F*** THAT

Yeah in the summer it gets pretty real I’ve been dying in there, but if you can find somewhere that pays well then it’s good to be honest, if it’s somewhere busy then hours/overtime are really limitless if you want it

I started off at $17 without experience in that type of kitchen with a sauté station, elaborate dishes and all that. If you wanted to try it I’d say shoot for the highest class places in your area and just be honest about what you know, if the owner/chef is cool he’ll be excited to teach you s***

Both

Chef/Line cooks are artists. Nothing but respect for what you guys do. Whether you're a Michelin Star chef or starting out, chefs transcend the cooking space.

From Grilled Cheese

The whole process

How are the coworkers? crazy types or relatively normal?

Relatively normal, super old school though I forgot how non pc it gets in jobs like that lol
This one dude flipped and started throwing pans though on the line during dinner rush on Saturday, almost burned tf out of someone
He got fired and they said that stuff like that isn’t normal

How you feel when someone returns something for whatever reason?
Went to this new southern place. The food ain’t have no seasoning whatsoever. It was like eating boiled potatoes

Former Confederate Dunce Checking In

Me personally I just remake it, sometimes I’ll feel like it’s bs but I’m not eating off a customers plate to see
A lot of cooks make a scene though regardless of the reason and blame it on the server

I wanna open a food truck / wanna start sellign plates from the house kinda a home cook with extensive knowledge

Lmfaooo I’m dead

U should read kitchen confidential by Anthony bourdain. He talks about his time as a chef, it was super interesting to me

I recently just got promoted at this fast casual pizza place and now I'm working the oven and leading shifts, s*** sucks, def not worth the $15, but the tips and free pizza everyday is nice.

S/O to the cooks that stay away from the caine!

Nobody ever listens to instructions

My girl always steals jobs from ppl and f***s the formula and I get lost trying to call out orders and knows what’s been done lmao

I run a kitchen on a golf course. I hate it and can't wait to find my exit from the industry. Cooking used to be one of my favorite things in a world but doing it as a means to living has made me hate it. I just want to enjoy cooking again, lol.

There's not a whole lot that do, tbh lmao. Servers and bartenders too. It's so damn common in the industry, lol.

Just coke and food. Damn

When someone blocks an item as soon as I get in a lane I wanna rip their throat out

Mannnn chefs and cooks make sure you stay eating as good as you do...you even considering clowning one

Show love

Deadass I feel like a cooking robot. Definitely made me love it less

chefs/cooks one of the most unappreciated jobs
