I personally hate breading anything (the flour to the egg wash, to the bread crumbs Ugh!!), peeling pearl onions, cleaning baby brussel sprouts, cleaning kale and chard, fine dicing raw butternut squash, ummm what else...... |
Sometimes we find ourselves having to perform kitchen duties or what you call consuming and monotonous tasks, however this is the profession we chose and if you want to succeed as a professional, you need to find pleasure in executing those jobs and move on to the next. If your shift project is grilling or marking a couple hundred chicken breasts, think of how good you’ll be at it afterwards. I guess all I’m trying to say is that you must find pleasure in any job or you’re not going to be very good at it. I have to agree with Erik, I also enjoy doing those monotonous jobs. Once you get them done you can then move on.
