What would be a fair wage for the work you do? An actual dollar amount.

    Eh, I'd be happy with $30 hourly. At 70 hours a week (line cook) I'd be making around $100k. I was making 87¢ an hour above minimum wage at the place I just left. I gave 100% anyway because if I didn't the experience really sucked

  • What candy flavors are always cast but are never the star?

    Let's play hide and seek, I'll hide and you seek professional help.

    All joking aside, I'm glad you enjoy them! I've never really met anyone who does so I always have to just begrudgingly eat the grape candy myself when it comes in a bag with different flavors. I hate food waste too much to throw the damn stuff out

    I get where you're coming from and I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, but I used to work with kids in after-school programs doing homework help and a handful of those kids were really surprisingly talented. I saw some really cool art from some of them, so I could see this being real.

    As a line cook, cutting up everything before a pan gets turned on is just good mise en place. You shouldn't start cooking until you know you're ready and haven't forgotten anything. The whole process is way easier and more relaxed when you've got all the components together in advance

    I personally fell in love with it after re-examining my life and what I wanted out of it after finishing cancer treatment. Even though it's my passion I absolutely don't want to stay in the kitchen past 35 or so. I don't want to be giving 70 hours of my life each week to work indefinitely and I don't think my body will be able to handle it much after that.

    How did you all get into the culinary industry?

    Basically what the title says, what made you choose the culinary/food service industry? Why is this what you chose to do?

    How do you all unwind after a shitty day on the line?

    This industry is brutal. I'm tearing my body apart for $16 an hour just continuously reminding myself that I'm learning a lot and this isn't forever, but man is it kicking my ass. What do you all do to unwind? Is booze/weed really all there is to help you chill out at the end of the day?
