What advice would you give to any aspiring chefs? LISTEN, ABSORB, and LEARN. Check your ego at the door and understand there’s always something to learn. Once you can master the art of listening then you’re on your way to success. You must create a working culture that has no barriers between servers and chefs. If you don’t have a team, you have nothing. You’re only as good as your weakest line cook or even dishwasher. Your kitchen has to run like a well-oiled machine and you need to understand that all positions are equally as important.
How did you get your start in cooking? I started at McDonalds in 1978 as a cook. I discovered very quickly that I had a natural talent and a real passion for the culinary industry. When I was younger I would purposely apply to multiple cooking jobs to learn as much as possible. I wanted to be a sponge and absorb everything! What is the most important quality in a chef? Passion! We work 50-70 hours a week of which we are on our feet for almost that entire time taking little to no breaks. It’s a hard life that is only survivable with passion. However, the payback is in compliments and making people happy which you cannot put a price on.
What does it take to be successful as a chef? To be successful, you must be prepared to lose your social life, weekends, some friends, and occasionally even family. This is a working person’s position and an office is useless unless you’re located on the line. You also must realize that it’s not only about cooking. Some great chefs have no idea how to make money. You need to learn all aspects of this business. For restaurant owners, take care of your employees like family and your returns will be endless both in business and life!
