Youre based as fuck, anon. Youre totly right about it being a lifestyle; you drink too much, work stupid hours, and get paid like shit with no benefits. There was a time when i was super proud of my work and thats invaluable BUT that pride has gone and it just doesnt get my dick hard like it used to; so i was doing it because i cant make $20/hr doing anything else and im good at it. My thing that id been telling myself is that id quit once it wasnt fun any longer. Covid hit, forced to wear masks (working a busy sautee station in the corner of the kitchen over a french top in the SUMMER in the SOUTH, couldnt breathe, it was inhumane) and getting chastised by FoH managers for having my mask down while im getting crushed doing regular service AND to go (dont get me started on fine dining to go, its so depressing) orders so i can taste the fucking sauces im making to order.. it was absolutely infuriating. Im getting pissed just thinking about it because they killed something i loved.

Onto the next thing. Best of luck to you in your endeavors bro

Go to school. Unless you want to own a restaurant or be an executive chef, youre wasting your time.. Youre not getting any younger and cooking isnt fun any longer because of the gook flu.

>t. Ex sous chef working in fine dining off and on for the better part of ten years
