I can do both if I put in effort, but I never did seem to quite excel either way. Looking back on it, I was... adequate. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about either. Every once in awhile, I did put something really solid out there, but my classmates could kick my ass up and down in the kitchen. I went when I was older and didn't work in the industry, so I was in classes with people who already had restaurant experience. It was eye opening in a way. Prior to culinary school, I'd spent 17 years in call centers, mostly tech related. During team potlucks, I'd put real effort into the food I was bringing, and I was repeatedly asked by my co-workers why I wasn't a chef. So when time came, I was your better than average home cook now pitted against people who already knew what they were doing. I did fantasic when it came to the academic side of things because my brain is wired that way. Culinary math, yields, recipe conversions, menu planning, food safety and sanitation, no problem at all. Practical use was another matter. I don't regret it though. I learned a hell of a lot. I just ran into a time/money issue and didn't get to finish my baking classes, so I'm a few credit hours short of finishing my culinary degree. Maybe someday.

in josh's defense on the cream puffs. he's said in the past he's not a baker and we know his personality by now to know he doesn't have the patience for baking. he's definitely got the heart and talent even if he never really learned the technical skill. with some prep, genuine effort, and not being goofy, I have no doubt he would pass

@@TheOnlyGhxst Again, argue that both are valid. But in culinary school they are teaching you methods for fine dining...to work at places that may have or have the potential to have awards.

I love how chaotic and silly Lily has become. Looking back on when she first started appearing on MK is such a wild contrast, and I'm here for it.

Consistency is the key to being a good chef, and Josh is consistently screwing up. Thus, Josh is technically a good chef.

I feel like a really under appreciated skill in the kitchen, or anywhere really, is to hire really good people. There’s where Josh really shines. He doesn’ have to be able to do everything by himself, because he knows how to hire the people who do. And he knows how to keep them motivated to stay on!

Mythical Kitchen has just been absolutely killing it. I'm so glad Mythical invested in this project.

College is collecting the most and best knowledge into 1 location and then providing to students. What Josh has done is searched for his knowledge on his own. It's not saying that his route is better than college but he did what he would in class...focusing primarily on what he wanted for his career. College adds a lot of forced electives and 1 yr classes that is general knowledge (what SHOULD have been covered in high school), so effectively saving money and focusing time on specifics.

Gonna need a behind the scenes video to this of the real time reactions of Nicole, Lily, and Trevor while Josh is working.

Josh is a real chef in the same way that Bill Nye is a real science guy and everybody loves Bill Nye

As someone who went to culinary school, this is both satisfying and so frustrating all at once

All purpose potatoes are very elusive, and hard to catch 😂😂😂😂

Nicole is so deliberate contrasted with Josh’s frenetic “sink water”

When Josh puts the bowl on the ham coins tho. "Warm my ham coins with the bowl". This killed me.

the bit where Josh' dough looked like pancake batter and it cut to Trevor saying that if your dough looks like batter you screwed up gave me without a recipe vibes so much it made me lose it laughing

“If I reject something before it rejects me it keeps me safe” Josh speaking for all us messed up folks right there

josh has never claimed to be a pastry chef. in fact he always claims the opposite.

Strong Without a Recipe vibes where they explain what to do or not do and immediately cut to Josh doing the what not to do thing.

"would a wolf peel a carrot if he found it in the wild" is the most Marcel thing I've ever heard lmao he's always on brand

Despite all the chaos and bravado on camera, it really speaks to his humility underneath it all.

*everyone else going about things as normal* 16:01 Trevor: “wHy HeEwLoH tHeIr mAgGot” 😂
