It really depends on WHAT influenced to convince you to be a chef.


If it was shows like Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, Emeril, Iron Chef, then you should just quit going for it.



If it's the grind, the seasons, the hard hours with minimal pay, the sacrifice of social life, the oven scars, and the glory behind a hot stove, busy line, and endless swirl of check orders, preferences, platings, preparation, and early mornings grinding away at mis en place...

then maybe it's a job for you.




It's a hard fucking job.  Not a glamourous one.  Most chefs, even the successes, aren't the ones you see on TV traveling around or cooking for celebrities.


Most of the chefs who've "made it" are the ones who have been able to grind and toil to create their own restaurants, where they have a loyal clientel and creative freedom.  But they STILL sweat their assess off every night in a hot steamy crowded kitchen.


Even then, maintaining a restaurant, keeping it profitable for the long term, is incredibly challenging.


The food/restaurant industry is undoubtedly the most competitive field of work out there.  Just drive down the street and count the number of restaurants you see.

Something like 2/3rds of restaurants which open end up closing in their first year of business.  And i'm sure those statistics have increased in the wake of the recession.


Even some of the most talented chefs in the country end up failing running restaurants.  Just ask Andrew Carmelini, Angelo Sosa, Franco Fiaggi, Gray Kunz and Christian Delouvrier.


Oh and even Pierre Gangaire's 3 Michelin Stars couldn't help his restaurant from sinking into bankruptcy.





With that all being said, if you want to go into this field of work, you better truely fucking love it incessantly, and not just be a "wouldn't it be fun to give it a try" types.


Don't be so negative every once in a while after being fired for 3 months you walk in to people tipping you out the ass while the douche who is on the way out the door looks at you and says 'what they tip you and give you things"?




What planet are you on?


Well been there done that so it happens on this plannet at least. :laugh2:
