>Making a big batch of dough, so breaking a lot of eggs.
>All nice and dandy, going through a 30 eggs carton.
>Two at a time because I finally got the hang of breaking them with a hand.
>The very last one was rotten.
>Only realize it because the waft of putrid odor got to me before dropping it all on the mixer.
Thank God I was breaking them on a big bowl and mixing them every carton; lost 30 instead of 125 and the other ingredients.

Tall hats for those who hold positions of power. Short hats for peons and apathetic busboys.

/ck/, be honest: do you like the stereotypical chef garb and hat? Do you prefer the floppy hat or the tall hat? Should the shirt be black or white?

I like to cook at home because it helps me relax and I like to experiment sometimes with new foods. Working in a kitchen is the opposite of those things and it takes the joy out of cooking for me. I don't really want to do it again.

Any ex-professional cooks/chefs on tonight? I could use some advice.

I have been working in kitchens for 11 years and I don't think I can take it much longer. I have done everything from street food to fine dining to pubs. I want to get out but cooking is pretty much my only marketable skill and I have no idea what to do with my life if I do. What do you guys do for a living now? Are you glad you got out or do you regret it? Anything you miss about professional kitchens?
