The pay is shit.
Hours are shit.
You have to deal with people that are shit.
You will never achieve anything worth remembering in the long run.
You will never invent something new.
Etc.
So, why is so popular? I'm a chef and I don't get it, and I am seriously thinking of changing the profession.
What does chefs of /ck/ think?

i dont know. i think maybe for some people they see the passion it takes to commit yourself to cooking and think "im a good cook. i am an passionate artist. i'll be a chef."
but the job is way more redundant, simple, and back breaking than these pussy hipsters can take in a given day let alone 14 hours a day.
it is a meme. a dying meme that takes soul crushing discipline to get anything out of it. ever.
Most of the chefs I know are too weird and dysfunctional and sperg to get any other job in between wrestling with alcoholism and insanity.
A few are just the common hard workers who just want a job and a paycheck, but they can't handle the 9-5 for whatever reason.
A handful are obsessed with food and work fanatically toward making their work excellent.
One or two do it because they like it.

Yea that's one thing that is troubling to me about being a cook. It's relatively skilled but it seems like unless you are in managment or the head chef of a really expensive independent place the pay is really low, even though it is fairly skilled work. It also seems like this is almost unavoidable given how thin the profit margins are.
Is a professional chefs entire day just...

Is bulimia the answer?
I just want to eat and eat without getting fat.
Look up Healthy at Every Size. Body positivity and intuitive eating is more important than body mass.

Starve yourself enough to earn your feasts. The hunger will also make your food taste better.
Yeah, just don't make it a habit. I don't recommend throwing up salsa and vinegary foods, they leave the worst aftertaste even after brushing your teeth 10 times.
What do you think of Kraft Dinner?
Add your own cheese too and some pepper and its pretty good.
A light drizzle of barbeque sauce if you're a culinary expert.
needs ketchup
i like it but i make it waaay runnier than that.. i like it juicy

What's your opinion about cola being healthier or better than beer
Define "healthy" here.
They are both bad for you, but at least beer gets you drunk.
Will that be with or without butter, sir?
Yes, now dump a bag of Sour Patch Kids over it like I asked.
>>7302592
Does your butters contain diacetyls?
>>7302592
The best is the places that let you put your own butter on. I get that shit as drenched and slick as yo mamma's pussi :D

I went to a steakhouse with my family tonight and asked for my steak to be well done( don't want to get sick). There was a couple embarrassed looks and everyone made fun of me for that.
Is this just a meme, what's so wrong with well done steak?
Pic related, looks really good.
was it moist and delicious or dry and sub par?
>>7298733
I liked it. Not sure what you mean by moist or dry
>>7298727
A perfectly cooked medium-rare steak is like a symphony; the meat appears in a gradient from the outer layer of crust and spices to the innermost layer of raw primal meat, running through every level in between.
A well-done steak is like a tuba ensemble, where there's the one guy on the outside who's got a little spice and then everything else is just lame.
The kitchen staff is also likely to give you a subpar piece of meat if you order well-done because they don't think it will matter...

Careful...this triggers /ck/. Almost more than saying you ate a free meal that was not tasty
I have a question, help me
When I was young my dad worked at a banquet hall, on occasion he would bring home a dessert
From what I remember, it was some sort of chocolate and creme dessert, in a loaf much like a cake, but did not seem to be cake, always in a white box
The name sounded...foreign, something non english
>>7307168
That's nice of you to call your mom's husband your dad
Tiramisu? It's coffee, not chocolate, but otherwise fits.
![chocolatetrifle7[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/X60v30K.jpg "chocolatetrifle7[1].jpg")
could be something like a chocolate trifle, I guess that's not very foreign sounding though

What is the best gas station pizza you've ever had? Personally for me it was a place called Perky's.
