I am not sure if we have any chefs. You can look through what does everybody do thread.

I am sure in our own way. Some of us are accomplished at cooking in our own kitchen, but probably not on a large scale.

I am guessing that is what you do? Will you be the first diaper Gordon Ramsay?

Former chef here. Dropped tge career in 2004 for trucking. Best career move I ever made.

I start working the food industry when I was 17 as a dishwasher. Moved to a short order cook in a diner. From there I spent 3 years in the US Army as a food service specialist. Got out of the Army in 89 and dabbled in the hospital and nursing home kitchens. Left that to start working in the upscale hotels and resorts with 5 star restaurants. Spent a few years there then moved on to a family style restaurant as kitchen manager, then on to General Manager. 2004 I was officially burned out quit and went to trucking school and I haven't looked back since.

I still throw down in my own kitchen though. We just built a new home and I beefed up the kitchen with the Bosch 800 series gas range, Bespoke 4 door refrigerator/freezer, Samsung dishwasher, quartz countertops with a high back bar on a 12 foot island that houses a farmers sink and a pot filler over the range.

BTW for those thinking about buying the StoveGuard for their range top, I highly recommend it. It cleans as easy as they claim in the commercial. I also got the stove to counter crack sealer with the StoveGuard. They came free with the purchase.

Nice place you have there. We remodeled our kitchen about ten years ago and got a GE Cafe range. That's the last time I'll buy GE anything. We've had every conceivable problem with it. Surely only half the parts are original by now, and I should be a certified GE appliance repair technician.

I am guessing that is what you do? Will you be the first diaper Gordon Ramsay?

Or host Hell's Nursery, the show where toddlers slave away over toy stoves only to have Mom and Dad turn their noses up at the plates of rubber chicken and plastic fruit.

Anyway, to the topic: I'm the de facto short-order chef at Chez Cottontail. I get up at 5am every day to cook scrambled eggs and similar elementary things in an often vain effort to coax my wife and kids out of bed. When I signed up for this whole "family" thing, I had no idea I'd be the only morning person.

Not a real chef though, no.

Sorry i was quite sleepy yesterday.

Well, i myself started as a dishwasher in a random no-name local restaurant.
I got paid everything else but decent. But what was i supposed to expect. Zero responsibility and zero skills along with zero qualification.

I switched places frequently looking for an opportunity and one day i got it.
I was offered a part time job as a kitchen helper, nothing special. Just a simple job cutting some veggies, BUT(T) i was no more a dishwasher.

long story short: im a full trained chef now. took me about 8 years and also a lot of pain, mental fatigue, tears, sweat and a sh!t ton of diapers
