You are not wrong. Every chef I've ever worked for has been a monster so when I went from cook to chef I tried my fuckin best not to be a prick like the other dudes if worked for.

Tru. Every single on of them's got Napoleon's Complex.

Napoleon was actually of an average size for a man if his era.

It's more about the way they behave than their height I guess.

I like to think I'm alright. Maybe I suck though.

Can confirm Antlerface is cool dude.

I never had the title of "Chef" but I delivered pizzas for a while which is basically the same thing.
Jk, but from anecdotal evidence, all my cooking friends hate cooking professionally. Except one who has a side gig doing BBQ "smoking" competitions.

I'm gonna confit a bunch of tuna tomorrow and do a fancy yellowfin sandwich with curry aioli and asparagus for lunch because I have a million pounds of asparagus by accident and I wanna do it.

Also maybe charred asparagus w a bacon fat hollandaise and a poached egg for lunch too because why the fuck not.

You go girl!

Imma add a fried soft shell crab to the asparagus and hollandaise because they're kinda cheap today from the dude I get crabs from.

Hush. I know what I said.

Throw in some gremolata and I'm sold.

Also, I kinda fucking hate to do this, but I think I'll have to apply for kitchen jobs. It'll prolly be ok, as long as I know it's only temporarily.

You be fine bro. Drink water, use sharp knives, and don't take shit that is not deserved.

Ps I'm not a fucking monster dude I'm putting choice gremolata and parm gratin on that bitch.

My youngest kid ate six or seven stalks of asparagus the other day. She's one and a half. The diaper the next morning absolutely enraged me.

Me and my dudes got slaughtered tonight. Means summer is here. Non stop gunning all night, 300 dinners after doing 250 breakfast. Tomorrow a shit head I yelled at for being lazy and messy probably isn't going to show up, so I'll be down a line cook for 300 brunch. I will work the line and expedite (call all the orders out while cooking).

Then we get to do another few hundred people for dinner. I don't know when I'm going to get all of this prep done. I don't know if all of our orders from our purveyors will be corrrct.

Summer is why I do this job. It's insane. It's stressful. It's fun.

I made pasta and aioli at the same time tonight in 15 minutes while I called out tickets to the boys because it was busier than expected.

We did not run out of anything b sides ribeye.

That's all.

Try giving her fiddleheads and revel in the green foam. Happy spring.

I love kids, but I truly hope I can get through this life without having to experience asparagus diaper.
