So in order to make it to the top as a chef, what am i supposed

Suck copious amounts of dicks. Or come up with a meme dish.

Actually that's what i was told by my sous chef.
In order to make it big in the industry, bend over and spread it.
If you want to fall then turn around and tell them to suck it.

you want to go to the top? go learn from the top... apply in a michelin stared restaurant , work there for 1-2 years. Go in the next high level restaurant in a better position... Stay there 1-2 years... Next restaurant. . Do it for 8-10 years , learn as much as you can from them and then, maybe then you can try to open your own restaurant and be on the top... oh! and forget about family, friends (other then cooks) and money for the next years...

Go to France for 6 months and learn the cuisine

Have you tried being an emotionally unstable alcoholic who can't handle the fact that he's working in a service industry and FOH has no control over what the customer wants for their meal?

Because that's like 90% of "top chefs"
