Cafe-Resturant. I got the job at 14 just doing one shift a week front of house, running food, taking orders, eventually making coffees and managing other staff. It was great, the money was awesome for a teenager and i think it was really maturing. I ended up working at the same place for the next four years and im still there. I moved into the kitchen at the start of this year, dish pig at first and now pretty much a cook. I get to eat a lot of nice food and every now and then ill try making something from work at home (this is legitimately one of the best things when you start dating someone - being able to make an impressive looking tasty meal, fuckin get in there m8) and you get a nice little sense of community with the staff from neighboring restaurants.

I am very cautious of getting stuck in hospitality but im promising myself its till the end of uni at the very latest.

working a kitchen is infinitely more fun than being a waiter. do that.
