    Tony, i thought i was only one that thought like this, i don’t even call myself a chef anymore as i don’t want to be in the group that are self proclaimed Chefs. I now call myself a Cheif Cook as they would never call themselves this or do they even know what it means. it’s a deep south thing i’ll chat with you when i see you, xo sydney

    I have cooked professionally in Virginia Beach for 4 years. My mother was a cook here for 45 years. In the past 2 years i have seen a slow degredation of the synchronicity inside kitchens. People are just going through the motions. My last job i had to call someone an EC that could not wven properly make Risotto. It is heartbreaking to those of us that enjoy watching someone eat good food. The feeling i got when i finally found ky toss with the pans. You cannot replace that and now so much saute is sauce from bags. Sad. Thank you for keeping a light for us that feel low in our skin. My last interview the man joked me for wearing a uniform coat. I have never felt so low about my own career that i thought i loved. I thank you for being real. It helps those of us that give a damn to cope between good spells.
