I took a job as a head cook and I ended up depressed and severely alcoholic after less than two years, now I'm not sure I ever want to work in a kitchen again

Hope it turns out well for you

Everything is getting more political. I blame the left for hysterically obsessing over Trump for bringing it to a fever pitch, but it's gradually been getting worse in general among everybody. Republicans were pretty bad under Obama at times, but he definitely deserved more scrutiny than he got.
Oh god, I'm doing it too. It's snowballed too far.

It's a small somewhat classy restaurant that specializes in seafood. Honestly I didn't think I would get the job because I have no experience, but the chef liked me. I will be doing a lot of prep work and will be doing other things to help in the kitchen as needed, possibly even some dishwashing, but the chef knows that I am there to learn how to cook professionally.

[Anonymous No.10829317]

Hope it goes well for you man. I'd like to do something similar one day, preferably not in a seafood place though.

the best advice I can give is work hard above and beyond the expectations of anyone

and be willing to do the jobs nobody else wants to / has the time to

that's a fast way to move up in the kitchen and get to where you want to be

Why? The biggest complaint I hear is that kitchen workers don't get to have a normal social life. I don't give a fuck, I don't have a social life nor do I want one. I like fast-paced hectic work. The only real problem I have is the low pay, but I don't need a lot of money to be happy and I plan on moving up in the industry so I can at least have a relatively comfortable income.

It's an interesting field my friend. You're going to make lots of friends, smoke incredible amounts of dope and drink absurd amounts of alcohol.

The atmosphere in a kitchen is amazing, as long as you're thick skinned.

Also remember that the nicer the restaraunts the better the drugs. I use to sell weed from Colorado to my head chef and our sous chef. In return I got to take home pounds of crab legs on Friday and so much prime rib.

congratulations. with just a few years of work, 15 dollars an hour and 60 hours a week can be yours, along with a complimentary cocaine, alcohol, and nicotine habit! but wait, there's more: if you had any potential to begin with, skank waitress poon is on tap, but it'll only serve to remind you that you'll never have a normal relationship because you're a pampered slave.

Maybe. But I am also struggling to find a career, and I figure I should try to make a profession out of something I know that I am good at. If I lose cooking as a hobby I can always pick up new ones, likely drugs and alcohol according to most other people who work in this industry.

I can cook myself whatever I want, whenever I want, and generally can bring home food for my girlfriend, and in some cases if we have a lot of something that's going to go bad soon, I'll batch cook it and take it home.

so true at least that's how it'll turn out 90% of the time. working in a kitchen = drugs and server pussy. great fun. too low-paying for a family though. but fuck it, not like there's many good women out there anyway

Free booze and food was the only reason I stuck with my kitchen part-time job. Then the owner finally got replaced and corporate is completely in our ass so there went that. I want to leave but it's hard when I've grown close to all my co-workers.

Kitchen's great for bachelor life. Not many other jobs where doing lines on the clock actually makes you a better worker. I'm high / drunk at least 50% of the time I'm working. Then the shift ends and all the hot servers stick around to drink All it takes is a bit of effort on your looks and charm and you're guaranteed pussy at least once a month.
