But I'm sure if you go into a Kitchen, and in an interview, be honest and straight forward with the Chef, and tell him that you are passionate about food, and would like to start as a prep cook and work your way up, he would try to work something out for you. At least I would. You just need to be willing to learn, be a good listener, and follow instruction, and of course, be willing to work the hours.

Dont be scared away by people saying u need to be able to dissassemble an onion in 7 seconds or whatever. You will be able to learn and pick up speed as you go. The chef is not going to expect you to be Chef Achatz or Chef Puck if you are honest and tell him what the deal is. Of course you cant move at a sloth's pace, but you get the idea. I hope this helps, and let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Thanks man...

Nope... don't live in Connecticut..bummer....
