Chef Explains Why Working In A Kitchen Might Be The Most Valuable Job |

deathwishcoffe...
For most people, the restaurant industry is a familiar place. In the last ten years alone, one in twelve people were employed in various kitchens across the country. Most of these people have as many horror stories of a life waiting on angry customers, as they do funny ones after long nights with co-workers who quickly become family. Rory Moran, Owner and Head Chef of Comfort Kitchen in Saratoga Springs, NY has set out to make his restaurant the latter.

    I recently took a job as a dishwasher in a small, busy kitchen. I have no aspirations to be a chef, but I took the job purely because I knew how busy and stressful a commercial kitchen is, and I wanted to teach myself how to not crack under pressure. To the people who have been doing this all their lives, I have nothing but respect for you

    I'm always humbled when I hear the rise from dishwasher to chef. Like the beginning of the path that I've taken without even realizing it. I too was fascinated by the fast pace chaos of the kitchen while dishwashing for a fine dining restaurant. At the time not knowing 9 years from then I would have skills to handle a dinner rush in a 4 diamond fine dining resrurant. It's definitely changed my life for the better. Great video! really makes me hungry to get back on the line.

    Now the unfairness of work are very prominent, to be an entry level chef, or line cook an applicant has to finish a food or hospitality degree or an equivalent is finish a culinary school, but then that chances are still slim for absurd reason as some restaurant and hotels asks aspirants for long experiences, I mean, wtf, this is entry level job, the bottom of the barrel in the career path applicants needs to start somewhere so dont ask them for unrealistic previous or intern experience.

    Get a dishwasher position at a nearby restaurant ( good one, do your research ), bust your ass and start bugging the chef, theyll eventually move you to kitchen assistant. Stick to it and learn your way thru the ropes. Also learn how to run the sala, once you know how to work eith people and make food, getchu a restaurant then. Had a few wealthy buddies who started up a restaurant with zero experience and all their stores went tits up after several months.

    Opening a restaurant is a very big commitment. Majority of restaurants don’t make it one year. Work your way up, maybe look into culinary school (work in a restaurant at least two years), and see if you’d rather just be a chef for a restaurant or own your own place. If you do plan on starting a restaurant, you should have at least $300,000 in your account so that you can survive the first couple of months.

    I really needed to see this. I am 44 years old and I have finally come to terms with the fact that I need to pursue my passion, and that is cooking. I plan on enrolling in culinary school, and though I realize that's not necessarily the practical approach, I simply don't have 10 years to join a kitchen and learn my way up. But I digress. My point is that I've been doing research on becoming a chef, and every video out there seems to crap on it. And though it might be a tough road, ultimately I want to own a restaurant and have the same attitude and approach that this guy has. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video to at least give me some semblance of positivity.

You.might be able to ask for a higher pay with the degree but I doubt it. At the emd of the day its a business. And business wants to pay as least as possible to make profit. But if it pays your bills then thats all thats really needed

Unfortunately, line cooks are treated like the most expendable thing ever here and have a high turn-over rate. It almost crushes one's passion for cooking if your just a mere grunt, and makes your passion feel like a burden and a bad choice...dragging your feet from the next one, to the next one.

If you believe its your career choice and feel you must climb the steps of madness to become great then all power to you. I'm a ease person, that never has a problem with anyone despite there work ethics, but i am also a human being and no one has the right to treat you low just because that person was given a shortcut. Shitty attitude, inorganization, over salted food, and unprofessional ethics leads to your kitchen leaving you every two weeks. I only wish i was there long enough to see the embarrassment on that persons face when they have to prep, cook, clean and organize because no one has responded to the help wanted. Besides that the kitchen is great to work in.

    Just dropped out of university (I'm 21) and I really want to get into the cooking industry and I've been thinking about going to culinary school but I've also read a lot about how the best way to gain experience is through actually working in the kitchen in restaurants to get the hands-on experience but pretty much all restaurants in my city are hiring people with minimum 1 year experience (I have none aside from doing occasional side prep for a chef when I was a dishwasher), any tips on how I can get my foot in the door?

    Hey im the exact same, stopped uni at 21 to work in a kitchen. I have no experience either its just convincing a place to give you a chance, ive just started at a cafe in the city centre and theyre great and very understanding that I'm a beginner. Find somewhere you genuinely love eating at and ask in person, show your enthusiasm someone will give you the chance

    being a chef is all about self sacrifice. its probably one of the hardest most thankless job there is. You need more than passion. The most successful chef realize that cooking is a lifestyle not a profession. Also being a chef is about managing people as well. A good chef is business minded too. Unless your staying with your margins you not making profits. Restaurants are business at the end of the day.

    Not to be rude because I respect these guys, but why does every chef look almost the exact SAME? every local chef or chef that works at a smaller restaurant. My brother is a chef at a brewery/restaurant, and he looks similar. Curly hair, facial hair, skinny dude. Where’s a hat, t shirt and apron. Plays music while working. He wants to own his own restaurant too because he absolutely loves the kitchen. Like I said, nothing against it because I respect them and I work in a kitchen myself, I’m only 15 and I’m a dishwasher because it’s about all I can do at work. I understand just how hard it is!! Some of the ppl I work with look like this guy as well haha
