>tfw the pressures of my family and my social sphere and my own personal weakness have forced me into pursuing an economics degree
h-haha but I bet working in the food industry is stressful and bad and will drive me to pick up smoking like everyone says r-right? why would i even want to spend all day cooking and coming up with recipes when I can study phillips curves?

>>10367057
Sort of. I work in marketing for a canned seafood company.

I work for an aerospace company, a very large one. That said all baking is really appreciated.

Fuck all, I can launch rockets and do all kinds of shit, but I don't know how to bake.

I make the food at a wine bar

I ask for extra limes when I order margaritas.

>>10370721
I like extra salt on the rim

>>10370716
>no no its pronounced bAN(h) MEE. The vertical presentation breaks the aesthetic barrier between the food and the customer.

>>10367057
Those are some pretty amateur looking baguettes, dude. Would eat regardless.

>>10370736
Folk that can only write in so called "green text" and not English are the ones that should be banned.

>>10370736
Green texting frog poster, yeah right.

>>10367057
Tell me about your work.

>>10370767
He didn't frogpost

>>10370774
Why the fuck would I want to tell you about my work? If you're so inqisitive tell me about yours first.

>>10370796
I don't work right now, and would like to know what others do.

>>10370774
Are you a survey cunt?

>>10367057

I do. What would you like to know?

>>10370736

Sorry are you trying to say the presentation style as used by greasy spoon diners for club sandwiches for decades is "fancy" ?

>>10370813
Once you get into real business people will tell you that presentation isn't so important it's content that's important.

You'll learn that sometime little boi.

>>10367057
Used to
>bakery
>pizza maker

Now I'm getting a degree so I don't have to deal with the shitty hours of the industry

>>10370821
If you're really good at it you can own your own place.

>>10370820

>>10370833
You say no and I suspect you've never worked for any company other than doing choars in your mother's basement.

I worked for a stand at the farmer's market that got busted for buying imported produce from the big county farmers market and selling it as local produce at the smaller ones.
After that I worked at a distillery making liquor and it was hot and the work was hard but I liked the process a lot. We made plenty of aged house fermented liquor, but the money maker for any young booze house is white liquor and that was all misrepresented. All the marketing led the consumer to believe all the vodka and gin was house fermented from local produce but we just bought in high test from a chemical company and processed it. The boss was from California and an enormous asshole so I quit.
I worked at a farm after that but the owner misrepresented his product, too. We sold ourselves as a small, fresh product straight from the farm but when our of product ran out we bought in commercial large scale agricultural product and processed it and sold it as local grown to all the restaurants and at the farmers markets. Didnt even harvest for a few seasons but still bought in and sold like we did. Quit that too.

So what I learned is that everyone lies in the food game. The fish special at your local fine dining is either an endangered species or tilapia. No one is working as hard as they say they are to make whatever they're selling you as local artisan green organic whatever. It's all bullshit.

I just reread the post you're replying to trying to understand what point you're trying to make and I feel like I'm having a stroke. This is either incomprehensible bait or written by a bot that's on the back edge of gaining sentience.

>>10370871
You cared enough to post, so you've made the first step.

>>10370863
thats why i only drink milk straight from your momma's tits

>>10370811

We work at a small local bakery, only bread, all organic and made with sour dough only.
I think its a little pretentious, but people like It and we sell arround 350 kilos worth of bread every single day of the week
Its tasty and filling

>>10370747
you have to go back

>>10367057
why are they burnt

>>10373158
Its due to the way the heat circulates the oven, tends to burn the tips

Man oh man that is pure profit. Thats a great business model. Bread ingredients are super cheap. Is it just one style of sourdough bread or a variety?

>>10367057
No, but I used to work at The Cheesesteak Shop, a franchise that made cheesesteaks out here in the Bay Area and next to Hollywood Video it was the best job I'd ever had.

I was a cheesesteak making fucking master.

>>10367057
I consume food during lunch, at work.

>>10373717
This "bakery" isn't in a 7-11 store by chance?

>>10370667
Don't worry bruv make some dosh with that degree and then start a cooking channel on YouTube or something

>>10367057
will prior experience in cooking help in the hiring process at a bakery?

there's a lot of bakeries hiring around where I'm at but I can't legally work for another couple months. i worked at a grocery baker and in restaurants as a cook for a year but i'm wondering if that will lend anything to my application.
i want to work in a bakery for a while to learn more and do something i enjoy at least a little while i'm studying.

>>10374055
You bet dude, its arround 1000€ per day.
And on weekends its the dame but in only 4 hours open instead of 8

>>10374055
Oh, and its like 9 different types and one off specials every now and again.

Nice. Thanks again.

>>10367057
I work for one of the big pizza chains. We make the dough and warehouse the other ingredients and ship it out. Cant take pics.

>>10367057
why did you burn the bread?

>>10367057
my gf works at a nespresso store, does that count?

>>10374920
Sometimes the oven goes fucking crazy.
And also, dark Brown is the sweet spot for bread. Specially for sour dough based bread, due to them having a higher content in water overall, if Its whiter the crust tends to get mushy

>>10374953
How many racks can you fit in the oven? does it do steam?

>>10370811

You look like a cool dude. what kind of food do you cook?

>>10370902

Fucking faggot soyboy redditor

I'm studying dietetics so kind of.

>>10374974
Yes, it has a steam burst when starting the program.
Don't know what you mean by racks

>>10376768

no because i actually want to make money

>>10370811
I'd like to know what possessed you to grow that awful fucking facial hair. Do it properly or not at all.

>>10377207
Oh, I see what you mean.
We actually use a module oven that has slabs of stone and we lay the bread to be baked there.
Looks somewhat like pic related

I wish I did. But if I start culinary school now then I’ll be 29 when I’m done and people probably don’t want a guy close to 30.

I guess I’ll have to stick with working at the business factory :(

I work at a carton factory, some of which is food containers, all of which is governed by the fda. So i suppose i do distantly work with food related items

>>10370716
looks like someone dropped a sandwhich and put it back on a plate
