I just bought the town cutler utility! My partner and I are just regular home cooks and we share knives, so it was important to get something that works for both our hand sizes (and cuisine choices). We cut a ton of vegetables and yes I’m sure there are better knives etc but the size seemed like a good compromise.

As a 60-something chef and educator who was never a tweezer guy (but I never worked in kitchens at the Michelin level) I was happy to see a pair of tongs. I prefer 6-inch, and have never liked the locking feature - too easy to break or get stuck IMO-I save rubber bands from broccoli and asparagus bunches to hold them closed in my bag. Finally on tongs...choose tongs with a coiled spring as opposed to a bent-metal spring. They fall out from time to time.

I’m surprised how few knives you included! I find myself bringing potentially too many knives to work on a day to day basis, leaving my boldric chef backpack with little room for additional tools. Not to mention the slots for knives get taller and taller, and past the second one or so, the pocket goes up to the blade and because I like tall knives most of them don’t even fit so they end up sitting outside the slots loose! Honestly, finding a good backpack that holds plenty of knives upright (hate being on their side, had lots of problems with them sliding loose and falling out), and plenty of storage for other stuff like spatulas, laptop, etc

Knife rolls scares me - I don't want my knives to potentially move around :( Hardt magnetic system seems great, but I won't lie - it's a bit expensive for someone who's just starting with one real knife in her collection and a few tools that I want to bring to the restaurant.

Hey Alan! Yeah his IG was where I heard about it (he posted about it in stories, his account is linked in the description) and I just DM'd him to get mine. They were $25 each, plus $12 shipping if that helps - made from hardened stainless 304 steel, you can sharpen them too.

@WinedandDined27

I had left for about 3-4 years, and went back into it more motivated than ever before. I am now further along in my career than I had ever gotten prior being a sous chef at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. I think I was able to tune out some of the extra nonsense that can come with kitchen life that may be harder for someone who hasn’t given themselves that chance to experience life outside of the chef world. I can’t predict your experience, but I’m glad I did it. If you’re like me and feel like you have unfinished business and goals you were determined to achieve and didn’t, maybe go for it. I do think age is a caveat. Cooking is a bit of a young man’s game and if you’re like 35+, I’d maybe reconsider, but if you’re still young then you’ve got time and maybe owe it to yourself to give it another go. You normally regret the things you DONT do more than the things that you do. Only you know why you left to begin with, tho. Edit:staging is a great way to see if you want to get back into it as well. Stage in a kitchen you’d want to work in (or two) and see if a) you still like that feeling and b) if a potential employer thinks you’re still good enough to hang.

Echoing C's advice here - breaks aren't often talked about, and neither is staging. I'm trying to tell the story more on the channel about the 3-4 month "break" that I took from kitchens and it gave me my mojo back to ultimately do 3 years in Europe. There are also a lot of restaurants now that are doing 4 day work weeks or offering part-time positions if you don't want things to be so "grind-y"

After 2 decades in the industry it amazes me how many folks walk in to the work place with amazing but expensive knives aaaaaannnnddd then they either get stolen or fucked up. Use beaters like Dkinox for the workplace fam it’ll save you money and tears in the long run. Great vid but do another one on the amount of fuckery that goes on in the galley that would be awesome.
