wtf i love working in kitchen now

>> No.9507585

I'm a fucking fatass so I don't trust myself in a kitchen job. I'd be hungry all day and want to kill myself.

Not to mention having to know how to cook everything exactly the way they want it cooked.

I started working in a kitchen and 2 months later I got laid for the first time ever and this chick and I have sex nearly every day now and our relationship is great.

How would you go about working in a kitchen? If you have no training are you fucked?

It’s something I’ve considered, but im nowhere near good enough. What’s the best avenue to get into this kind of work?

>> No.9507795

>>9507748
Depends on what kind of kitchen. Shitty diners and cheap restaurants probably don't require much or any experience.
My cousin did the stereotypical thing, started as a dishwasher at a basic burgers and fries type place, then the head cook started training him in the basics, now he works in the kitchen full time.

it depends what you want to do
but generally people work as dish/prep and work there way up. I went to school because I wanted fine dining (and got it) and didn't want to end up with a bunch of bad habits. But most cooking schools are either trash or a joke. I'm definitely including CIA. If you want to go to school work the line first. It's all worth it if you find the right spot.
try to get a job in a hotel or somewhere else that does a lot of volume with out sacrificing too much quality. Find some French guys. That's where the farm to table thing started and it's all more technically proficient than the Italians. A lot of prep is repetition and most of working the line is timing. Overall it's a whole different beast than cooking for you and your homies, but it's better than almost any drug when it's working.

Working in a kitchen seems like the worst job ever.

Stuck in some cramped, hot room with no windows on a Saturday night earning shit money while some low life cunt yells orders at you.

>> No.9508597

>>9508572
some are for sure. But there are so many kitchens in this world man, you don't have to work somewhere like that if you don't want to.
Saturday nights are overrated, hospitality parties on tuesdays

>> No.9509183

I was a dishwasher for 2 years at a very nice restaurant. I moved up to cold line and was being trained for hot line as well. I did a very good job but the women and people there were disgustingly terrible to me so I quit. And yes I was alcoholic AMA
