FOH vs BOH
I've done both (abit 15-20 years ago & I found a great deal of Bourdain's book reminiscent) in well respected restaurants. The biggest difference for me was that I had to put a face on to wait tables. In the BOH I could just be me. Any thoughts on the "acting" talents that go alone with a good server? The money wasn't worth the phoney me I was creating everyday. Nearly everyone I bless with some homemade goodies says I should open a restaurant. Fat chance I cook for pleasure and would never compromise that by doing it for money. So I'll keep having my little dinner parties and I'll keep feeding my passion for the restaurant/food business by reading, watching, listening and enjoying everyones post on Cheftalk. :smiles:
