Anyone here cooking at a Michelin level? I was raised in the

i cooked in a one star for a while and then quit to do something completely different.

it is generally good advice not to pursue a career in cooking because it is unpleasant if you don't discover a passion for it, but passionate people can't be reached by generally good advice. why not stage at your admired kitchen on the weekends?

i decided that the hours were so isolating i didn't want to do it as anything other than a last resort, cooking could just be a hobby i could fund with a less stressful career and i could always launch some kind of commercial venture later in my life.

if you are at university i don't imagine anyone will tell you to drop out for restaurant work. not even successful people who did it themselves. it will likely be something you regret. i almost dropped out of university but i finished it and now i wonder what i was thinking. finishing things you start is important.

tl;dr: yes you might truly enjoy it however you should be wary because the vast majority of those in the industry do it out of a lack of other options, and there is a reason for that.

Yeah. I just feel like arts degree is borderline useless and I don't have the math courses to change to something useful. A lot of people in my city who are successful actually dropped out of school or finished their Degree first. I realize Henderson and Patterson are also self taught as well

>Michelin level
First of all, what do you mean? Do you think that restaurants that do not have a Michelin star are unequivocally worse than those who do? You do realize it is a voluntary rating system and that their standards in rating have decreased substantially and become politicized, right?

Should have specified a bit further but yeah I'm planning on staging during my time off between semesters to see if I still like it. The first place I worked was French and didn't really care for it, it was just a good place for basics and they actually hired me as I was completely green.

Again, my dream is not to be famous or have 3 stars, rather open a small restaurant where I can cook food I like for my friends

It's easier to use that as a metric. Obviously there are very very good places with no stars and those that are rated incorrectly but it makes it easier to get the point across

my cooking tastes like michelin rubber tires

>>7107315

I think that judging restaurants by what a rubber manufactures publication that serves no purpose but to sell rubber says is retarded and goes the prove that anybody who willing works in a restaurant is a dumb fuck.

4chan has this bizarre habit of ignoring earlier stated points for the sake of (yous)

I was just using it as to denote a good kitchen

and some people just like cooking, doesn't make them dumber then artists or people who follow less than lucrative careers for the sake of passion
