Cookbook Bobby
A question about being a chef?
I was exploring the world wide web and came across this. I know chefs don't make a lot, but dam? Is it really like how she says?
"I worked at a wonderful, popular white-tablecloth restaurant in downtown Los Angeles for a year earning $8.00 an hour, but paying for parking, tools, and uniforms ate up most of my wages. I also worked at a famous boutique restaurant in Mendocino, CA for $7.50 and hour.
Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray: these are the stars in culinary spectrum, but the rest of us can never expect earnings like that, no matter how good we are at what we do. If you don't write a cookbook or get on television, there is very little chance of your earning anything other than minimum wage, for all your skills."
Can anyone who is a chef or know anything about it please put their input.
Jim Crow take your scaming butt of this page. who told you im looking for a job?
My friend's nephew is a chef at an upscale restaurant in St Louis.
He makes about $75,000 a year, but he works nights, weekends & holidays because that's when restaurants are busy. If you're good there's money to be made, but you have to have training and be a real chef and not a fry cook.
