>tfw can't even handle the pressure of being a chef in

Yeah if you can't handle that you have no hope of even being a line cook let alone owning a restaurant.

If you enjoy cooking, don't work in a restaurant. It will destroy any love you have for it.

Don't open a restaurant, don't wait tables, don't be a chef. If you love cooking, cook at home.

Imagine making your favorite meal. Personally I like duck l'orange. Now, instead of leisurely cooking at home, talking to a friend or something as you go...

Imagine seven people running around you as you try to cook.

Imagine a waiter shrieking about how table 4's steak is overcooked despite it being made to order.

Imagine having to time out five different meals while the kitchen manager yells about how "IT'S THE DINNER RUSH PEOPLE LOOK ALIVE" as though you didn't fucking know.

Imagine no one giving a shit about how hard you worked, and if they do you're too busy to accept the compliment.

Working in a restaurant will destroy your passion for cooking.

Being a real professional chef at a restaurant is one of the worst jobs I've ever had. It's a shit job, shit pay, with shit hours.

Why does drawn food always look so damn good

Work in the front of the house you scrubs
Easier, pays better, and you get to eat food instead of making it

>Work in the front of the house you scrubs

What would be the point in that? It's further from cooking.

Honestly its the only time I enjoy being a cook. If its slow I am bored out of my mind and hate it.
