I went to an Engineer University, graduated in 2013', and been working as an engineer since 2014. I started a small catering business in 2018 (Flavors by Chef Jay Doshi), and then started school at Escoffier's in 2019. It has been a life changing experience. I've always had a passion for service and cooking, and going to culinary school helped me realize my potential in the culinary arts. For any new chefs out there, stay true to the path, to yourself, and to your people. It's a tough industry, but the pay off of seeing clients smile at the food, and have an unforgettable experience, is truly magical, and that... is the pay off.

For me Chef Curtis Duffy is one very humble person. After seeing his Netflix episode exposing his childhood and all the personal problems he had to deal with, now having all the success he work hard for, and still remain a humble simple person is by far the greatest success any chef/person can achieve. My congratulations to this chef and remain where you deserve: amongst the bests chefs in the world! 👏👏

Be prepared to make minimum wage. Make sure you can afford to live in (what you consider to be) relative comfort without going in to debt. Be prepared to work a lot. Hours in the industry suck, tho OT can help counteract the low hourly rate. Browse through r/kitchenconfidential and read the horror stories. Know that they’re worst case scenarios... But that they’re real stories. I’m not trying to discourage you, but it’s important to know what you’re getting into

@@nanolathe1193 Chefs absolutely do have to deal with angry customers. I work in an open kitchen so people are free to criticize me regardless. Sounds like the issue is where you work. I work in a from scratch kitchen in the Bay Area where no one is making under $25/hr and you have to be serving fresh to even compete. I'd guess at 18/hr you guys are serving stuff from frozen so your cooks probably aren't really cooking, more like food assembly. What they do, to me, is not really the the same thing as what I do if that is the case. I do fine dining. In a high-functioning kitchen, cooks are not standing around because you are drawing people in, and we have orders.
