  • Culinary Crossroads
    **Make sure to listen through to the end for a special announcement!!!***


    The Clash said it best...

    "Should I stay or should I go now?

    If I go, there will be trouble

    And if I stay it will be double"

    Thats pretty much the internal fight you will be having when you hit these crossroads. The only right answer is the one that you choose that makes sense for you. Other people's opinions should not have any influence on your decision... its yours to make and own, no one else.

  • Chef Rant - Media Sensationalizing The Chef, from hero to public enemy

    For the longest time the chef in a restaurant was a guy in the back that was hidden from the public eye. Then the food network came along and the chef became a celebrity. Now for some reason the chef is a public enemy because we suddenly created a toxic work environment?

    I don't think so. Thats pretty fucked up to be honest. On behalf of the Chef's out there getting beat up over this... please stop. Chefs are very much driven by our passion to make people happy. What set me off in the past was dealing with people that treated the restaurant as nothing more than an ATM. This is my, our, life. If you want to trash on what I live for then I'm going to rip you up. PERIOD

    So if you don't care and you just need a paycheck or the tips for the day then go work somewhere that has no soul. You will fit in like you were family.

  • The Mind of a Chef -not the show, but how we think and operate

    What is a chef? What makes a chef? What is the dichotomy of the rebel blended with the structured life that is required to succeed.


    Do you really give AF? or are you one of the zombies that just don't want to get yelled at? I urge you to find something you truly care about and get after it. Stop wasting time not caring about what you do, its draining your soul.
