Been in a restaurant for a year now. Had 0 skills just a work ethic. Fast forward a year I’m now the sous. I’m not the sous because I’m a technical powerhouse but because I add value to the line. Not the station, not my task, the entire line. My best advice, learn from everyone (even shitbags you’ll know the ones) do tasks above your level. For me I had to learn how to cut meat, smoke it, how to plate at expo things like that.

I love these videos you post. I'm currently waiting for an interview for my first position, and all these videos have been very helpful!

I've been in the business for a while, your videos are perfect. I'm referring them to a friend to use as an aid to teach culinary basics.

Cooked for 17 years. We had a bad fire. I did construction “temporarily” for about 7 years. Lol. Got laid off last fall. Am working back in the same kitchen that closed down bc if that fire. ( now at 42, instead of my early 30s) God is good!!! 🙏 just discovered your videos tonight. Great stuff!!!

I may seem mean sometimes!…. But I can’t lie!…. I eat fast food!…. I never cook in my life!…. Never!…. I eat fast food!…. Thank your channel for cooking again!…. I, literally, only cook at work!…. Keep up the good work!…. There are 99% burnt out chefs!…. To every 1% of fast food eaters!…. ❤️

Very useful. I just started working in a kitchen 4 days ago with no prior experience and I love it. Last night I worked Garde station kinda on my own and had a blast. Besides trying other foods how does one improve their palate? There are a few foods and ingredients that I hate but most people seem to enjoy. Why is that and can that be fixed? Also when creating dishes how can you practice knowing when something needs sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami flavors added to make the dish better?

Been in the fast food industry for 5 years. I really do enjoy too cook and put a smile on people's face with food. I recently applied as a line cook at Chili's and the hiring manager loved my energy im looking forward too getting the job, any tips or advice as a basic line cook for a first timer ?

Salt, sweet, heat, fat, and acid. Those are the five componants of flavor. If you can learn to balance those 5 things, your food will be bangin'?

I am a Lead Cook and just started a new job where all the other cooks are entry level and from a different country but have been there longer than me and know how things are run. I can see that none of them have any respect for me being Lead over them and would like advice on how to change that especially when trying to gather them around for a team line up/huddle.
