/ck/ I need help, I've been working as a cook for over a year now and I sill love cooking and making food, but as soon as I get to work I'm just so burnt out and sick of cooking for ungrateful shits that I just want to quit and give up. How do I rekindle my passion for this job?

Buddy its like that 90% of the kitchens you work. If after a year you feel burnt out either find a new career path, force yourself to learn in many different kitchens and cuisines hone your fundamentals and find a more cushy job. Personal chefs, chefs for yatchts, catering. All of which you can make s closer relationship with the people eating your food which I turn will remove everything in between you making food and your customer eating the food. These jobs also pay well.
drugs and alcohol buddy
Hit on the waitresses. Works for me.

>cooking for ungrateful shits
daily reminder that you're not doing anybody any favours because they are paying for your service. just shut and do your job.
and do it well because when people pay for a product or service they expect to get what they paid for. if not they complain.

do you do it for free?
>slave away in the kitchen making great food for ungrateful guests
>The waitresses getting tipped more than I earn just for smiling and carrying food back and forth
And that's when I quit my job as a chef and became a waiter
I burned out of kitchen work like six years ago. For nearly a year I didn't eat anything that couldn't be microwaved or eaten straight from the can. It was killing me, the alcohol abuse, the weird sex, the hours were all combining to seriously impact the quality of my life. I got an ulcer at fucking twenty one.
I wish I could tell you to keep it up, OP. I wish I could say this feeling passes and you will get better. However, I nearly killed myself, and leaving the kitchen for literally anything else was the best idea I have ever had.
Also the pay in kitchens is shit. Why slave for barely over minimum wage? Not worth it.

Yacht Chef would be awesome.
- not a lot of people to cook for
- high pay
- see the world
sounds great.
Maybe you ought to ask on cheftalk.com or kitchenknifeforums.com. Lots of professionals with years of experience there. A bunch of private chefs too IIRC.
