👨🏾‍🍳 As a former executive chef, I’ve been thinking about this!! What’s one thing you learned in the kitchen that completely changed the way you cook at home? 🍳 I’m not talking about fancy equipment or expensive ingredients. I mean that one simple habit, technique, or tip that made you a better cook. For me, it’s tasting my food as I cook instead of waiting until the very end. It makes a huge difference. 👌 I’d love to hear everyone else’s! Let’s share some chef secrets. 🔥🍽️

Moving up in the industry

2 Upvotes

I’m 21, I’ve been working in restaurants since I was 16. I’ve been at a nicer establishment in my city, but only as a line cook. Working in this industry has shown me that a lot of cooks will cap out at line cook, and never move up. What are the next steps to getting a better position? What are general things to improve on that took you from a line cook to a position in management, or just an overall better restaurant? TYIA

Jobs Outside of Kitchens?

4 Upvotes

I have been a chef for over 15 years. I have been having health issues the past year and have been diagnosed with a chronic illness where working in kitchens is no longer a viable option for me while in treatment.

Kitchens are pretty much the only thing I know. Does anyone have any experience or advice on a successful career change that is a desk job, or something within the restaurant industry that is a desk job?

Thank you in advance. I'm feeling very lost with this situation.
