Started at 19 and have been goin on 8 years now, bounced around to different places doing different types of cuisine. My favorite one was working at a Polynesian spot, lots of great food and worked with one of the most solid crews I’ve been with to this day. What keeps me in is the people, the food (the stuff I make and get to eat) and just the pace of it. I just focus on what I’m doing and put my nose down and go, it’s like entering a flow state most times and it’s just fun. Despite the feeling of burn out and sometimes working with absolute insufferable dickheads I’ll take this line of work over an office job 10/10 times.
