Hey /ck/, so I've been looking for a new job and I got an interview at this new burger joint that's opening up in my city. There's actually a few around here, but I've never been to one. It's a "trendy" place I guess, definitely looks good. I have an interview for a position as a chef on Monday, and I'm wondering, just how hard is it to be a cook at your average burger joint? I've worked before at Panera bread and I currently work at a grocery store chopping up fruits and veggies and throwing together recipes from time to time. I'm not an idiot either, I learn pretty fast.

It's not hard, I haven't worked in a burger joint, but you're making burgers. Chances are they will train you with their recipes and whatever else. Even then, you will probably in charge of cooking the meat or whatever or assembling it all together.

Hmm, okay, doesn't seem crazy difficult. If they're willing to train me from the standpoint of "I have never had to work a grill before" then I should be fine, I hope.

You have never grilled a hamburger? Please leave America.

How are you getting an interview for a chef position with no culinary experience beyond cold pantry stations?

So this is an actual chef position where you will be managing all aspects of back of the house operations from menu planning, food ordering, division of labor, running the kitchen brigade through service?
No it's a line cook position they are calling "a chef", pays $12 an hour and you will answer to the scum of the earth: restaurant managers, evil middle management douche bags that can't even fry a fucking egg.

I deliberately didn't use the word "chef" for this reason.
I've got no problems with that because I basically already do that.

>chef
You have an interview for a chef position Monday morning. That is what I was referring to
