(Anonymous) 2011-07-31 11:07 am (UTC)(link)As a poster said, it's really hard work and not as easy as it looks on tv.
I've never worked in the restaurant industry, and when people see the stuff I cook they always tell me that I should consider a career in baking or being a chef. But I know better. I've worked in customer service before, and I even worked in a bakery for a short while when I was 19. You have to have the patience for rude customers, you have to be able to have good craftsmanship, and the flexibility to fix orders than can go wrong in the blink of an eye. The payoff of really nice people who get excited over something as simple as a beautiful birthday cake is a great feeling, but all the stress and feet hurting (Crocs helped a ton, and no, I didn't care what people thought of me when I was walking to work or walking home in them) built up over time.
I also don't think I have the creativity to be a good baker/chef. The only reason I cook or bake things "so good" is because I followed the recipe. So I'm good at following a recipe, it doesn't mean I can be the next Gusteau (and yes that is a favorite film of mine <3 ).
I have a passion for cooking but not the mindset to become a chef.
Really evaluate the positives and negatives that come with a career as a chef. If you pursue, I wish you the best! If not, there isn't any harm in taking cooking classes for fun.
BTW, yes, Alton Brown is awesome!
