I’m on a dry streak right now. I’ve applied to over 10 kitchens in my town and not a single one has taken me in. When I lived out of town I was a line prep at a nice restaurant but when I moved home I wanted to continue growing in that field so I started applying to every restaurant that had listings up. Nobody has hired me and it’s so frustrating. I’ve even tried to apply as a dishwasher and still nothing. I tell every place that I have an empty schedule so I can work anytime, I’ve even been so desperate as to offer up working for cheaper than the listed pay, yet I still get shot down. It’s so annoying when people talk about how easy it is to get hired because kitchens always need help, yet when I apply they all seem to be over staffed. So frustrating I’m on the verge of giving up and finding an entirely new profession.

You are spot on in your intro - don't become a chef if it's only about food; it is about cooking. I learnt this only two years ago, I started to enjoy the food I cooked, but after a while, I began to love cooking. It wasn't about food anymore. When I'm not working, I spend much time in my kitchen, refining my knife skills, creating my meals, and getting faster at cooking multiple pans and pots. And in my 30s, I now have a lot of regrets about not pursuing it. Sadly, it's hard because I'm building my own business and want to escape the 9-5, and I can't turn back the clock to become something that might not lead to anything.

This is the reality of life.

I'm reading yalls thirsty comments, let's keep it pg 😂

Just recently found out about your and Joe's channel, and I want to take a second to appreciate the work you're doing here. It's very clear to me that you speak from a position of a person who really cares about what your audience is gonna go through if they choose to do what you do and it's just very authentic. I feel like youtube (and the world in general) lacks a lot of authenticity right now and regardless of what you're talking about (I don't really intend to become a chef at all) I get this here.

So thanks for the good work guys, really looking forward to hear more from you both!

Preach!
Been in the industry for more than 3 years! Not as glamorous as they said thats why a lot of people get midlife crisis when they begin. They always play the question in their mind “am I in the right industry” it takes passion 🥰

I went to culinary school and while I had a great time and it was super fun, you really don't need to go. It's way better to get a job as a dishwasher or a prep cook and work your way up that way you have experience in every position.

Pot washers/ dish washers are important just like chefs. Without them you won’t have clean plates to use. Respect for them 💯😄

Also good point separating cooking and eating. I really enjoy cooking, I love the hospitality and pleasing people, showing off my skills etc. While what I enjoy to eat mysel is a booring fitness diet because I enjoy sports on the side. Occasionally I eat out in fancy restaurants but thats not a huge thing for me. Very good point and Im a living example of this haha

I don’t know why, I just feel it’s all talking about mine experience, I started as kitchen assistant which doing dishes all the time and after 8 months they promoted me to a cook

Wow! I always thought that cook and chef is the same thing, just a synonym. Thanks Chef!

theCHUM

Well spoken... your suggestions could apply for any job, position, career. Thank you.

Been a Professional Chef for nearly 55yrs now, have been to the very top of the trade and back down again, retired from my career Chef job recently, working once again as a Line Cook and loving it, zero stress now!

I give chefs so much credit! My best friend is a fine dining chef/CDC, and the blood, sweat, and tears that go into this career is very underrated, and overlooked! We love our chefs here! 🖤🤍

I worked a kitchen job in college and your videos are reminding me of why I was so eager to leave. I love cooking, but all the BS that comes with the industry isn't worth it. Cooks and chefs need a union

I live in Austin Texas which has become known to be one of the foodie hot spots in terms of creativity as well as BBQ. The one thing I would add is building a relationship or friends network in the industry and then one day starting your own restaurant even if it is just a food truck. As Austin continues to grow with many new high paying jobs, opening a restaurant here is not extremely difficult so long as you know what you are doing and you are able to produce a good tasting meal. There are other places in the US that have similar food scenes and growth.
