hope you enjoy this sit down video talking about getting hired as a cook! let me know what you want to see next week! 👇🏼
More ASMR? lol
Some level-up tips on normal/everyday/mundane recipes like pasta.
I mean some fancy recipes are nice to watch, but it's just difficult to follow and mayhap expensive, and I won't be able to cook and eat that everyday. Comparing to tips for down-to-earth menu, it's simply more useful.
Your daily workout routine and having a bath… I’m sorry what was the question again ?
Hi, I come from culinary school and I was working in NYC for a while I was a line cook a few restaurants, I came in France recently and haven't been having the same luck getting hired I was wondering if you have in tips, I'm in Grenoble right now.
I’m on a dry streak right now. I’ve applied to over 10 kitchens in my town and not a single one has taken me in. When I lived out of town I was a line prep at a nice restaurant but when I moved home I wanted to continue growing in that field so I started applying to every restaurant that had listings up. Nobody has hired me and it’s so frustrating. I’ve even tried to apply as a dishwasher and still nothing. I tell every place that I have an empty schedule so I can work anytime, I’ve even been so desperate as to offer up working for cheaper than the listed pay, yet I still get shot down. It’s so annoying when people talk about how easy it is to get hired because kitchens always need help, yet when I apply they all seem to be over staffed. So frustrating I’m on the verge of giving up and finding an entirely new profession.
You are spot on in your intro - don't become a chef if it's only about food; it is about cooking. I learnt this only two years ago, I started to enjoy the food I cooked, but after a while, I began to love cooking. It wasn't about food anymore. When I'm not working, I spend much time in my kitchen, refining my knife skills, creating my meals, and getting faster at cooking multiple pans and pots. And in my 30s, I now have a lot of regrets about not pursuing it. Sadly, it's hard because I'm building my own business and want to escape the 9-5, and I can't turn back the clock to become something that might not lead to anything.
This is the reality of life.
Any progress since then? At least you eventually did decide to leave it all out there, props for that. I’m still in my early twenties and I am trying to pursue my passions with the time I have now, would you suggest I throw myself into a regular line cook position just for a more baseline understanding of the industry?
Go for your dream! Maine has lots of positions!
I went to culinary school and while I had a great time and it was super fun, you really don't need to go. It's way better to get a job as a dishwasher or a prep cook and work your way up that way you have experience in every position.
I don’t have any experience. So your saying don’t go straight to line cook? Do prep cook or even dishwasher first so you get to know all aspects of what goes on?
@@itsclutch5858 start on garm, if you can. that is what i do, and this is my first job in a professional restaurant kitchen. garm, or garde manger, is mainly salads, desserts, and appetizers. not only is it pretty straight forward and easy, but its a super good way to get a feel for the kitchen while not being too stressed.
Facts I started as dishwasher and then prep cook suddenly I love cooking especially to my family and friends 🧑🏽🍳🤌🏾
Pot washers/ dish washers are important just like chefs. Without them you won’t have clean plates to use. Respect for them 💯😄
Real talk
Everything there is important from the dishwasher, to the host, to the server, to the cook, to the manager. Everyone is an important part, whether they realize it or not. 🎙️❤
@@hedalapapa agree 👍🏼
The dishwashers at my kitchen work harder than anyone else to keep the place running, they work for a few different operations; the main restaurant, room service (it’s a hotel) and for the employee’s dishes throughout lunch. If one of them misses work and can’t be replaced it’s a very bad day.
I'm reading yalls thirsty comments, let's keep it pg 😂
We don't do that around here, Si- I mean, boyfriend! :|
The only thirsty comment I see here is yours 🤣😂🤣😂
what thirsty comments? you're imagining things lol
Just recently found out about your and Joe's channel, and I want to take a second to appreciate the work you're doing here. It's very clear to me that you speak from a position of a person who really cares about what your audience is gonna go through if they choose to do what you do and it's just very authentic. I feel like youtube (and the world in general) lacks a lot of authenticity right now and regardless of what you're talking about (I don't really intend to become a chef at all) I get this here.
So thanks for the good work guys, really looking forward to hear more from you both!
Been a Professional Chef for nearly 55yrs now, have been to the very top of the trade and back down again, retired from my career Chef job recently, working once again as a Line Cook and loving it, zero stress now!
Have you seen people start in their 30s and make their way? Just about everyone aims to scare you away at that age, but I never fit into corporate and I tried, got the degrees, etc.
I worked a kitchen job in college and your videos are reminding me of why I was so eager to leave. I love cooking, but all the BS that comes with the industry isn't worth it. Cooks and chefs need a union
I live in Austin Texas which has become known to be one of the foodie hot spots in terms of creativity as well as BBQ. The one thing I would add is building a relationship or friends network in the industry and then one day starting your own restaurant even if it is just a food truck. As Austin continues to grow with many new high paying jobs, opening a restaurant here is not extremely difficult so long as you know what you are doing and you are able to produce a good tasting meal. There are other places in the US that have similar food scenes and growth.
We love u zaddy chef 😭
DEAD💀💀💀😂😂
Preach!
Been in the industry for more than 3 years! Not as glamorous as they said thats why a lot of people get midlife crisis when they begin. They always play the question in their mind “am I in the right industry” it takes passion 🥰
are u still in the industry
Love how natural his vlogs are . 👍 go Ryan go
I give chefs so much credit! My best friend is a fine dining chef/CDC, and the blood, sweat, and tears that go into this career is very underrated, and overlooked! We love our chefs here! 🖤🤍
That must be why my steak tasted so weird?
@@haydencseve1567😂
I used to work in recruitment for a hotel and many cooks were disillusioned because of the pay and work. Sometimes you aren't able to be as creative as you'd like. You definitely need to enjoy it. Check out hotels though- benefits, etc. Good advice!
my first job in a kitchen was as a prep cook/dishwasher and I really liked the fast crazy atmosphere then I moved up to line cook, fry cook then sandwich board but didn't want head cook haha!
6 years XP
Thank you for recognizing the dish washer as a legit opening position and talking about staging. Good video and advice. I staged a restaurant. Didn't get the job but the evaluation help me get my sous position at another restaurant.
Also good point separating cooking and eating. I really enjoy cooking, I love the hospitality and pleasing people, showing off my skills etc. While what I enjoy to eat mysel is a booring fitness diet because I enjoy sports on the side. Occasionally I eat out in fancy restaurants but thats not a huge thing for me. Very good point and Im a living example of this haha
Just found your channel today Ryan, and watched a few videos! I am in culinary school but only because I wanted the introduction to my red seal. I love to teach and I'd love to one day become a red seal chef and teach passionate people in return. Your videos have been very insightful! I hope you get lots more traction as a channel and can reach a bigger audience!
I don’t know why, I just feel it’s all talking about mine experience , I started as kitchen assistant which doing dishes all the time and after 8 months they promoted me to a cook
Oh congrats !! Did u go to a culinary school?
Fuckkk😩 Joe you really won with this one 🥵🥵🙆🏽♂️ also great video Ryan 😅😂🙌🏾
Weird
Raw, reality. I think passion for any job helps lead a healthy lifestyle.
I was really excited but now I'm scared and excited
Well spoken... your suggestions could apply for any job, position, career. Thank you.
thank you for the advice. I start culinary school on the 6th June and this helped me keep focused on my dream.
How's the industry in Canada right now ? In the US restaurants struggling to hire people mostly because of the very low pay.
Wow! I always thought that cook and chef is the same thing, just a synonym. Thanks Chef!
Love you, Ryan. Keep up the great videos! 🙏💗🌞
Is it really worth it culinary school if i m not planning on becoming a chef, just like to cook Not even want a own restaurant
How much vacation time do you get off being a Cheff?
Yes sir! 10 to 12 hours! Loved it! In the zone or go home!🙌🏾😁not able to do that anymore! Memories are good. I got paid the best and tips. I was a prep cook.
So cool to see you blow up man good work!
Eyes and ears everywhere. Long hours. Passion.
Question: how to prepare for a management position in the restauration? I have been cooking for a while but I would like to be more managing/creative. Like mix 50/50% hands on and planning. I have seen interesting job offfers in bakeries and similar food businesses that look for managers. Could you give your opinion/perspective on such transitions. Thanks dude
Just saw your few videos,.. really enjoyed watching them,.. I'm myself a sous chef
You have a new follower now cheers 🥂 👍🏼
I didnt go to the culinary school, but got working into the restaurant just like Ryan says - dishwash, commis, cook. It has been 4 years and Im looking forward to step to a managing position, but I still need some time in the line. Im in Paris, besides some salary difference everything you say applies here
Hey, Uh I'd really love to see a video about how to get into cooking, since I am really passionate about cooking but don't know just where to start.
Well first complete your studies have a backup career option and then maybe try getting a job at a fast food place see if you can stand for long hours and into the kitchen heat than decide and if you like hanging out with friends and like to party dont choose this line
I like big macs but I want to cook dego. 10 to 12 in tougher environments? Bro, if that's it I'm GOLDEN
For the first time ever, I managed to watch this within the hour of upload. Hahahah
Got a double tmrw man. Good ol Easter sundee
I just started culinary school and I also just got offered my first job as a line cook and I’m literally torn lol. The job is great and Iknow I’ll learn a lot there and considering I was a prep cook else where for only 3 months this cafe saw my potential and wanted to train me. But.. I’m also like wanting to learn how to do pastries and cakes so I’m conflicted to say the least lol.
Hey Ryan .how are you today?.I hope you are doing great. I have been watching you lately and your content has been very informing lately and i my self too am enrolled in a culinary school here in Algeria but I'm in need of your guidance if this ever catch your interest but first let me give you a little introduction about my self I'm Karim im 21 yo from Algeria and currently as I stated before I'm enrolled in a culinary school to became a chef I already have a pastry diploma so I wanted to like add a chef diploma to increase the chance of getting a job but back to the point lately since got wiff of what the its actually like to be a chef I have had some doubt on weither I want to be one I'm a person with stress problems and have low body endournce cooking has been a passion of mine since I was a kid but now that I actually experienced it I don't know if its something I want to pursue as a career I also have low self esteem so others usually throw work at me because they know I won't say anything back one of the reason why I choose this profession is it to one day leave this country to a better accepting one for the lgbt community me being gay man my self so what do you think I should do ?
Great job Ryan.
I really enjoy cooking and love learning how to make good tasting food . My family and friends all love the food I make and I feel as though I have a natural talent in that area.. Would you recommend looking into the culinary field? All I hear is negative views :\ It makes me question whether or not it’s worth it
I love your cooking videos like when you show us what you make at home! Maybe one of your favorite fish dishes! Make that for a video next. 😊😊
Very insightful about becoming a chef.
Super relatetable this kind of job. Kuddos bro, Keep it up.
Thanks for this amazing video
Excellent video, could you do a video for us on how to make a vegetarian dish of your choosing? Thanks
Good advice Ryan..thank you..how about some of your cooking techniques??
I’””ll be moving in BC for work as a Cook, i hope to get to work with you someday!
Hi Ryan, i havent watched this vid yet, will do later, yet can i ask for a content (if its not too much) and if it hasnt been shared yet, that involves kitchenware choices? how to make proper cube cut? your skills
You always seem to be exhausted after work. Not sure if this is due to work so I guess being a chef is very demanding?
The other thing I learn is by watching the cooking shows like Hell's Kitchen. Do these tv shows represent what's like to work in a kitchen? Sometimes people say reality tv shows do not represent real life.
Well I'm a chef and yes you will see things going on like hells kitchen in small restaurants mostly family owned restaurants where the head chefs are mostly family members or friends my only advice is complete your studies so you have a good back up career option then get into the kitchen and if you don't like working in the kitchen change your proffesion
Not only is he good looking but he can cook. Also that thick ass Canadian accent. What else could you want?
seriously.. and those lipss lordt..
did you got to college or having any degree suited for cooking industry?
Switch mid-life career. Try simple cooking at college dorm studying Hotel Management Studies.
That was very informative and articulate
thank u.
U just said wat I realy wanted to hear
first off scare me off and then tell wat its like to be a true Cheif
OHH and GUYS IF U LIKE ANIME I HIGHLY RECOMMEND U WATCHING FOOD WARS
U CAN GET A GUD INFO ABT COOKING THERE WHILE ITS SO MUCH FUN
Very interesting info.
I am a student chef and looking for where to do my internship abroad! Any advice for me?
Hotels are best for chefs
Great video. Can you react to or comment on movies about being a chef e.g 'No Reservations' etc and how realistic they are
Very insightful !!!
I was a dishwasher at this fine dining restaurant for some extra money. The head chef was born in the same province as I was back in the Philippines and we both spoke the local language(very rare language) so we hit it up very nicely from the get go. One night we were short of a line cook so the head chef himself taught me how to plate this very expensive and good looking salad which had 20 ingredients.
In 5 weeks I went from a clueless dishwasher to a garde manger cook and now I grew a passion for making exquisite food. I'm now planning to go to culinary school whenever I save enough money.
GARM FOR THE WIN
so true
Working without being paid is illegal in BC. I would caution against agreeing to that, ever
If you have to ask if you should pursue being a chef, the answer is no. There is nothing objectively good about being a chef or working in a kitchen. Pay is bad, hours are bad, it will never really help you pursue any other career. You pursue being a chef because you love food, absolutely crave stress, and flourish working under pressure. You like being in command of a structure and you thrive in chaos. You pursue being a chef because it's the only thing you want to do, regardless of the cost to your personal life.
I want to be a chef but thats pretty much like labor suicide in my country
Is it smart to just get on as a line cook at a basic restaurant. If I have no experience
Great sweaty talk
I have girl hands so I think I'll do cooking
Great video. Can you tell me what your goal is?
Thank you :))
Can you help me plz
Very interesting video bro
Love you...☺️☺️
Better to go into trades
Is it worth it after all?
Hallo Sir
I am a 27 years old engineer
But I always want to be a chef do you think it is to late for me ?
Nah man it’s never too late. You can always get an entry level job as a line cook or a prep cook and move up. And don’t worry about not knowing enough as chefs love to teach.
Wait Shawn Mendes and Charlie Puth !!
I wanna know to become a chef , if I haven't high school diploma , can I become a chef .now I attend the class about chef
Just do your research
I really want to be an chef
Only the strong survive
nothing about this job has to do with loving to cook. lol thats why you quit. your like 10yrs old. how much time did you put in?
AGE?
Can I work with you chef?
Yum
I want to be a chef because I like cooking
Saaaaaaa handdddddsomeeee
Did joe get you a cat?
In most of your videos I've clicked on and watched, you have a lot of negative perspectives regarding the culinary industry (when starting) in comparison to what most people would want with a regular 9-5 job with benefits. how do you manage all of the real-life stressors aside from your position in your kitchen (job)? things like healthcare, paying bills, having days off/ time for yourself, and even a relationship?
FEED ME. thats AlL
💜💜
Bro is Sheldon Cooper
❤️👏
How do i kidnap him and bring him home 🤣
Hey Ryan, I have watched several videos of your and being a chef of 25 years would like to see if you are interested in doing a interview together and help shar content for people. please let me know if you are interested
I hope you will be my boyfriend Once I'll be able to Work in Vancouver
I had spent my entire high school career preparing for the food industry. My buddy in drivers ed class gave me Kitchen Confidential. I finished the book and thanked him, because I decided against it. This is not to say that I did not try it, I did. I realized my body is not made for standing that many hours and now I work in a job that pays well and has benefits and I can afford to eat good food. I can barely stand standing cooking for myself. To anyone out there, don't have a romanticized view of the industry, DO IT. try it. and see if you can stand it.
I love you. you are so handsome
Look at it this way: just because you like having sex, does that mean you want to become a porn star? It's very much the same thing. You can "love" to cook - and about 6 months into your first "great" cooking job, reality hits.
