This used to be man's biz and it some places
it still is. when it came time for me to start school i moved to the area three months ahead so that i could get the feel of the land. i looked around the area and found what was considered the best place in town
and went there to apply for a job. a beautiful english bistro. i was told by the only female on staff(foh) THAT I couldn't even apply. when i told her i was enrolled in culinary.. she said i would have to be recommended and then IF i got the job..it would only be dish.

the executive had in his office a pew you had to sit in.. a church pew. you were expected to speak only when spoken to. it was wild.

i think that as the times continue to change
oyu will see less and less of this. it is a big enough field for everyone. i have worked with both.. some fab some yuck and their gender had nothing to do with.

just do your best..it is your mind your educating..remember. good luck danielle
