Reopening after 2020, all restaurants decided they could only offer journeymen cooks minimum wage +$1-$2. That's when I decided the industry just doesn't care about its workers. Painful to leave an industry you've given a decade to, but a couple years later, I'm now just a second year automotive technician, and have already doubled my income compared to a journeyman cook with over a decade experience. This industry is just not worth the headache. No holidays, terrible pay, horrible bosses, entitled customers. I love cooking, but not the industry.

This is making me crave a classic Philly cheesesteak big time. these are so traditional its brining me back to the local deli i grew up around

Its so cool seeing this guy who's an accomplished chef waiting on everyday customers. I gotta lot of respect for him putting himself out there like that.

Brad is an icon, I would crumble into pieces at each of these stations.

I love you Brad! You make me happy all the time, thanks!

im always impressed how brad can just adapt and do it... i havnt seen him fail anything food related yet.. exept for 'slinging sausages' XD

I grew up down Walnut Lane just into Germantown and this was a staple growing up. Love to see the recognition and exposure this place has gotten! American wit and crushed hots for the win! Their hoagies are also arguably the best in the city

Love Brad. He is such a wonderful soul.

Brad is a great tv personality. I hope he keeps making videos.

I love Brad. Do more of these! I think he coped very well with the pressure. I would collapse, lol.

Thanks Brad, I started a new job recently and I've been a bundle of nerves. You give me confidence to try hard, throw myself into things, and fail until I don't!

So happy to have brad back, never wished I could be a chef more

This place is a madhouse as a customer, good to know its the same in the kitchen

Being a newbie and learning the ways of a restaurant is very stressful. Man, this brings back feelings I never wanted to resurface.

The fact she doesn’t salt her meat is insane. Crazy. Also a lot deli’s lie to you when they say it’s “ribeye”. 8 times out of 10 it’s shaved cheaper cuts.

Good to see Brad. He seems like a genuinely good guy.

He's doing a far better job than I could. Fast learner with cooking skills.

I’ve cooked in many restaurants and this seems pretty intense and fast paced. Just getting right in there and you either match what’s needed or they’d yank you outta there lol. Brings back memories of busy lunches, dinner services and banquets

I loved when the music came in when service had started, you could almost feel the sweat on brads face :D

These are the traits I aspire to have, Thank you for sharing the "first day in the kitchen" experience!

Love to see Brad back.

so great. so efficient and informative. a real busy restaurant rush

This guy is genuine, what's not to like? I love the great attitude! Thanks for what you do brother

Now I’m craving a cheese steak sandwich. One of my favorites.

I love this advice. I have been reading about differential training, and this gave me a good visual of what that might look like. New subscribe.

Brad. Cheesesteaks. That’s all I need baby. 🤙🏻

this was honestly better and more entertaining then anything you can watch on the food network

I’m watching ba after a while, maybe 2 years. It is the first time I see his hair without any cap or hat or any kind of cloth over his head. Missed hi voice and accent. Lovely experience after all these times.

Brad popping up at the window like he's in The Shining 😂

Spent some time in Philly my son born at chop. Got to try all the popular cheesesteak places. This was probably my favorite, my daughter 7 at the time not so much. I think she was just burnt out on cheesesteaks. Good place good people.

Oh, Brad. You are a gem 😊 Never change.
