    I’ve been a chef for 14 years and he is showing exactly how to run a kitchen. Urgency, but calm, criticism but not insulting. Exactly how a kitchen should be run. Too many people think chefs are like Gordon Ramsay, we’re not. Food looked delicious too.

      To be fair, Gordan isn't even Gordan. It's a persona for American TV. Watch any of his shit. If you ain't fucking up basic shit pretending to be a professional, he is calm and reasonable with you.

    I was instructed to be head chef today (because I am in training) and it looks easy but it’s really not. It was the first time that I felt useless in a kitchen. Definitely inspired by this and I hope I can reach this level someday.

    • @freddiekay
      @freddiekay 6 месяцев назад +521

      Good luck. My colleague said something the other day that resonated with me. "Cooks critique and berate you. Head Chefs build you up and make you better."
      We were talking about a cook in our place that has been there for a long time without being promoted to Sous or Head. Great chef, catches people making mistakes all day, but is sulky about it and doesn't care to explain how to do it better next time.
      Both of these types give you negative feedback when you do something wrong but only one of them explains in detail what went wrong, how to fix it, and the next time you make the dish, they make it with you. Our Head Chef is strict, gives clear feedback, but is fair and just wants you to become a better cook. For you, for our guests, for your career in the future.
      I hope and believe you have the stuff it takes to run a kitchen brigade.

    I was a pastry chef for almost 5 years. I started out at 23 washing dishes then worked my way up to being a kitchen porter then to a commis pastry chef after he quit I was thrown into the deep end. I sadly lost my job due to COVID closing the place I worked at down for good and now in a new career. This video brings back a lot of memories and shows how everyone works as a team to get things done. My old head chef used to say "nothing and nobody is above the food, every plate that goes out that puts a smile on a customers face its all ours, the plate is here because of the dishwashers, the ingredients here because of the kitchen porters, the food because of the chefs, the menu because of me and people get to enjoy it and have a good experience because of the waiters".

    I worked as a waiter in a restaurant/hotel in my neighbourhood and even though I worked at the bar most of the time in a different part of the building, I worked in the restaurant for a few weeks and the suffering was undescribable. The stress for me was sometimes too much and I almost broke down a couple of times. Most of the other waiters were old idiots who don't care for a teenager who will be there and gone in a few months. Same for the head of the establishment. But this video reminded me of the cooks and 1 waiter who actually treated me as a human and a real person. That waiter Martin, he would joke around me when he could and call me funny names, not in a rude way. We would talk about football and how his son is a goalkeeper. He actually helped me and with his help I learned a lot. Also the cooks, of those in the morning shift I only really got to know the dish guy. But in the afternoon shift I got to know the head of the kitchen, a Albanian, buff and a sweet guy. He always asked me if Im hungry and what would I want to eat. Same for the female chef. Those few moment where there was no work, when we would chill in the "smoking room" I felt like we were a family. Sometimes I miss those moment, but I wont do something similar Im sure of it.
