Does anyone know what job pays the best in the culinary industry? Obviously private chefs get paid alot but other than that?

Founders of a great concept that get bought out by one of the big boys...
They are the most MADE group

Suggestions as follows (in no particular order)

Be talented
Be lucky
Be in the right place at the right time
Develop a concept that can be duplicated without too much complexity
Demonstrate that 1 or 2 units are indeed profitable
Repeat 1,2 and 3

Hot dog flavoured water? Have you lost your mind man?

It's "lightly smoked Viennese sausage flavoured caviar (a'la agar-agar and sodium carbonate)s topped with mustard foam......"

Hey cheffy!
I'm wondering what the catering business is like and since careers are on topic, I was wondering if you could enlighten a passionate 15 year old about your job.

"A passionate 15yr old" Thats great to see!!!

What would you like to know? How it works? What I do? Or what a typical day is like in my world?

Cheers,
Cheffy

Well,
At first I wanted to be a chef, until I realized that I wouldn't get to be out and about much and talking to people would be hard. I'm an extreme extrovert and need people. So I figured that catering would be the job for me.
I have heard that the job is not consistent, which is fine, I live off of tips as a waitress/hostess anyway, but what do you do when it isn't crazy? Around how much profit do you make per party? I've read on everything I can find but it seems that personal experience is the best way for this. I would love to know everything about what you do and how you do it but perhaps it isn't meant for the forum. Please, feel free to private message me.
