to post a bit of devils advocate, i have seen a bit of lets call it reverse predjudice. People who were whats the word.. oh yes, "clasically trained" not giving the respect to those who came up through the trenches. I love the all too present question. "Where did you go to school?" as if by not going to school you are less of a chef. I have met some cullinary students from some of the top schools that would have been better off spending their tution on sometrhing else, who have the audacity to question another's merrit due to the fact that they chose to get paid to learn in place of paying to learn. There is a lot to what we do. I think that we all know who is who and who has what it takes. To **** with all the others. We are the psychos who miss 1st birtdays, own birtdays, Labor on Labor Day, and watch other families enjoy together time. Why? because you can do some pretty cool
$@!& with an egg, flour, milk and some water. that's all I give a **** about. Call me chef, call me cook call me jack *** i dont care. I just prefer my first name.  |
