Default Hey!!

Hey, whats up? I'm Kevin, and I'm from California!!
At my high school, which strongly believes in hands-on we are allowed to go out on internships two days of the week during school! During my sophomore year (I'm now going to be a senior) I landed an internship with a professional catering company. At the time I wasn't very interested in cooking, I was just trying to get out in the business world in a hurry. As I progressed through the year I started to discover how much I loved cooking! The people at my internship were very friendly and eager to help me learn, so I ended up staying with that company through my junior year, and got pretty good at cooking! I also took a college class called intro to culinary arts where I learned the major knife skills. By the end of the year I was confident enough to enter a culinary competition at a very nice French restaurant. Although I didn't win, I did very good! But now I'm starting to plan my future which will no doubt, be in the culinary industry. Next year I will be interning at a pretty neat restaurant called Bistro 33, taking "Becoming a chef", and Food Theory at the local community college, and doing a **** of a lot of research on culinary schools!

Any questions? Comments? Words of advice?

Take care
-Kevin

Hello Kevin and welcome to Chef Talk. You're fortunate to have a high school that emphasizes alternatives to the traditional 4-year academic track! I can tell you appreciate it, as you seem to be making the most of opportunities as they emerge.

We hope you enjoy all the features of this site, and that you visit often to learn and participate.

Welcome!
