You're quite right to a degree about that. I am a senior CDP and I got so many offers to move up the ladder and I refused every single one of them. Anything above is just a huge increase in work load, responsibility and the worst part, paperwork. I am happy earning a high wage, not as much as a higher level Sous chef or Head chef, but I don't have the headache. I clock out when my shift is over, unless I have to help that last little push, and I go home, leaving all my work mentally at the door before I exist work. I still refuse to go up, unless a day comes where I get my own kitchen, either owned of a place I plan to work long in prior to retirement.
Love your videos Chef, been working in kitchens just over 2 years and I find your videos really insightful. I aspire to be a head chef one day and your information is a great help. Keep up the good work Chef.
Its weird i joined a kitchen a couple years ago at an airport, as soon as i put on the white coat and a hat everyone refers to me as chef and im like bro i make scrambled eggs and toast and wash plates wtf do you mean 😂
@@chefsPSA it's ok, the kitchen doesn't really give a shit about the food though and it's massively overpriced for what it is because its at an airport so its hard to give a shit when I feel guilty for ripping people off. On top of that I'm vegan and we serve an awful lot of meat 🤣 I love the feeling of being in the zone and producing massive amounts of work though its a rush
People look at me like I’m stupid for putting up with the hours and lack of breaks in the kitchen. Is it a problem with society for not understanding? Or is it a problem with the system in general? Should our jobs really be this balls to the wall?
Some of the greatest chefs I’ve known started out as a dishwasher. Some of the worst chefs I’ve known started out in culinary school. It really just depends on the person and how serious they are.
Chef is just a fancy word for boss. I got the job because I showed leadership and had skills in the kitchen

Cooks find a flavor by following a recipe. Chefs find a recipe by following a flavor.

Much appreciated and I will.
This channel should have waaaaay more views.
I agree!
Awesome chef you did a great job at our place thank you
These are very insightful. I just applied to be an executive chef.
Thanks! I will be putting out about one or more videos a week!
A cook is anyone who cooks! A chef is a person that cooks professionally that doesn’t mean they are the head chef
I went from being a bartender to a sous chef
I have never personally been a bartender but I’m sure there is a a lot of cross over skills.
@@chefsPSA it’s just ingredients made a different way

@@crazydrummer181 there is no guarantee of success in either path. It’s what is in the individual that is the difference
Chef can you bake?
I worked as a baker in my first job 27 years ago. I have forgotten most of it.
Do you consider pizza makers “chefs’?
If they lead a team@@claudiagold1925
😊
A cook can prepare a fantastic 3 course meal for 10 people...
A Chef can get 3 other people to do that for him/her...😁
😂😂😂 very accurate
