I don't ever "knock" ppl who go to culinary school,intact I think it's great. But Bobby's comments nailed it. I didn't graduate he either,but I have cooking since the age of 8 and have been employed in various kitchens since age 16. I'm 32 years old and the fact is experience will get you further than anything on paper. I have worked along side culinary students in kitchens and they all fall short behind actual experienced cooks. The jacket,school papers etc...doesn't make you a chef.period. It is all based upon a life commented to the craft and experience
Knife inHand8407 Hi, Culinary student here. I find that it provides me a great base to start off with when I started off as a commis. Alot of the techniques I learned helped a bunch when I started. I find it very inspiring that you started so young, and I beseech you for any tips you might have for a rookie like me?
Hey I'm super passionate about cooking. I've always been in the kitchen I'm reading books, studying spices, technique, etc. But I also wanted experience, do you know what the best way is for me to get a job in the kitchen as a 15yr old? I know it's young but even if it means being a busboy for a year and then being promoted to kitchen I want it, Amy advice would be appreciated
@@maiaysabella My advice is , don't use your feelings when your making important decisions, Think about your self , your financial situation and your family. You should work under a master for only a few years ,you should completely master the same skills that he/she has, when you have mastered his/her skills, then you need to absolutely LEAVE the restaurant business and focus on being a Sous Chef in a large corporation. After 1 year of being a sous chef and completely understanding the meaning of leadership, than you should apply as an executive chef for a large corporations. Avoid mom and pop stores. Your ability to lead , organize and work with people will pay FAR MORE than your ability to cook. I promise you.
Hard truth for really young cooks fascinated with Food Network and interested in cooking: culinary school doesn’t improve your restaurant skills. Sure it allows you to think more while you’re cooking for 2-4 people, but in no way does it prepare you for a busy shift at work. Bobby said it here, and just about anybody who went to school will say the same. Culinary school teaches you knowledge, work teaches you wisdom and experience. Not to say school was a complete waste of a year and $20k. I was able to shoot a little higher than someone else who never held a knife before, and the techniques my chefs demo don’t go over my head. School establishes the very basic foundation of a culinary career, not the career itself.
I dont think so.. Theres a people chose to enter culinary school, why? Because they dont have experience. Imagine entering food industry with no knowledge think about the competitive scene you cant get a job by just entering and say to chef that you want to work there. There are people preffer culinary school because of inovation or classics. Entering culinary school helps a student to think outside the box and to reach the capacity of the person knowledge about food. Yes experience is the best but knowledge is building blocks to apply it in the real world. There is culinary school but scam in terms of ingridients and facilities. Why not bother spending 20k plus dollar if they give you a right education. Haute cuisine, fine dining thats is one od the hardest scene in culinary and imagine how can I possibly enter the fine dining. There is certain diploma or degree for cooking just like molecular, haute or classic gastronomy.

I know this might not have to do with being a chef, but I have recently started to cook. I used to think of it as such a hard difficult ordeal. Its really, great, fun, and really really REALLY rewarding. I made a loaf of banana bread. After I made that, I had to step back and say, Wow, I did that. Its moist, and its delicious. I didn't think I had it to do something like that at all. It was a confidence booster to learn more and to cook up all kinds of other recipes out there. Bon Appetit! 🍽
I’ll tell your how? As a very successful chef for 40 years Give up everything!!! Mornings afternoons evenings nights weekdays weekends holidays Friends family spouses going to concerts events museums If your lucky you will be off on Mondays To be a successful chef Be ready to give up everything except work. Don’t do it I beg you All you will do is work.
Chef life is hard but all in all its a rewarding with the people you meet and the things you create. 15yrs experience,kitchen manager,old guy here..😂 but it's been one of the best jobs I've had.. "If your good/love to do something ,it's never just a job.
Go 2 culinary school just gonna have a diploma nothing else..be a real chef start from the ground and passion for food.any one can cook but very few have the talent .
To be fair, I don't want to be Bobby Flay... dude can't cook Gumbo...and the chef he lost to on Throwdown said he was whiny about it... no respect at all, also his utter disrespect on the Original Iron Chef show in Japan made me hate this guy even further. I pretty much stopped watching Food Network because of him. Plus, he cheated on his wife... yeah I don't want to be Bobby Flay.
mark d yes but the skills you obtain and the accomplishments and acknowledgment you receive keeps you going and being a chef is very cool but take it serious you can make a lot of money and grow to love it

Yet he starts a GoFundMe to help keep his employees employed when he makes over $10 million... He ain't the best chef. He is really a dirt bag.
