    Uhhhhh did you just read my autobiography? Graduated with a degree in culinary arts after high school whilst working in kitchens throughout the course of school. Worked my way up to district management in a metropolitan area. 15 years in I had zero life outside of work and nothing to show for my work other than crippling depression and addictions. Moved back home to start over. Got a 9-5 municipal job and I’m back in school working towards a doctorate in a completely different field. Never been happier in my adult life than the past 4 years that I’ve been out of the service industry. Fuck restaurants. It’s even ruined my ability to enjoy eating out. Doesn’t help that it costs a fortune now and 20% tips aren’t enough anymore. Also fuck the restaurant owners that take advantage of their staff.

      I can enjoy a good restaurant but get really upset at crappy ones. I mean the kind of crappy you can detect with this kind of background. Like terrible menu choices that you know mean tons of frozen product or line cooks that have so many dishes to remember that they just wing it on half of them.

      And I’ll never spend my own money to have someone else cook me a steak. :)
