    Chef is just a fancy word for boss. I got the job because I showed leadership and had skills in the kitchen

      You're quite right to a degree about that. I am a senior CDP and I got so many offers to move up the ladder and I refused every single one of them. Anything above is just a huge increase in work load, responsibility and the worst part, paperwork. I am happy earning a high wage, not as much as a higher level Sous chef or Head chef, but I don't have the headache. I clock out when my shift is over, unless I have to help that last little push, and I go home, leaving all my work mentally at the door before I exist work.
      I still refuse to go up, unless a day comes where I get my own kitchen, either owned of a place I plan to work long in prior to retirement.

    Cooks find a flavor by following a recipe. Chefs find a recipe by following a flavor.

    Love your videos Chef, been working in kitchens just over 2 years and I find your videos really insightful. I aspire to be a head chef one day and your information is a great help. Keep up the good work Chef.

    A cook is anyone who cooks! A chef is a person that cooks professionally that doesn’t mean they are the head chef

    People look at me like I’m stupid for putting up with the hours and lack of breaks in the kitchen. Is it a problem with society for not understanding? Or is it a problem with the system in general? Should our jobs really be this balls to the wall?

      I have never personally been a bartender but I’m sure there is a a lot of cross over skills.

    Some of the greatest chefs I’ve known started out as a dishwasher. Some of the worst chefs I’ve known started out in culinary school. It really just depends on the person and how serious they are.

    Its weird i joined a kitchen a couple years ago at an airport, as soon as i put on the white coat and a hat everyone refers to me as chef and im like bro i make scrambled eggs and toast and wash plates wtf do you mean 😂

      @@chefsPSA it's ok, the kitchen doesn't really give a shit about the food though and it's massively overpriced for what it is because its at an airport so its hard to give a shit when I feel guilty for ripping people off. On top of that I'm vegan and we serve an awful lot of meat 🤣 I love the feeling of being in the zone and producing massive amounts of work though its a rush
