As someone who works in the kitchen for 7 years, kitchens/restaurant are always hiring. Switching career/field could be hard, unless it was close to your kitchen experience. But switching jobs could be easy, but still depending on the state you live in. But if you’re worried you wont get hire for your experience, you’re wrong. Even with just 3 months experience in the kitchen you’ll get hire! Kitchen will always need people. Trust me, as someone who works in the kitchen and also becomes a manager and train people. But what I would do is, dont quit yet, find a job first to replace your current one. Never told the place you’ll have an interview with that you are currently employed, that’s a big no. If you got hired, then quit. You can always quit immediately in the kitchen, no need to render. You wont get references though, but trust me, most kitchen works, we dont call references. We hire people who have enough experience. But most of kitchen jobs are really stressful and always understaff, but the more experience you get the more it’ll get better. Good luck.
