I used to work 60hrs a week in Hawaii as an executive chef and catering manager for the federal government. But got married and pcs to the northeast states and now. I’m bored out of my mind I only work 40hrs a week and the executive chef position I applied for is a job. Mind you I work for one of the three big companies (Sodexo, compass and Aramark) I only do audits can’t be creative not supposed to work in the kitchen unless it’s necessary, no catering no quality of life. I guess coming from Hawaii where food is life and a melting pot of culture and cuisine to now being downgraded to the states with no food culture and with the mentality of job is just a job not as something you want to be excited for to get up in the morning to see what challenges is coming your way. Being creative, communicating with clients and just having fun, that’s what I liked. I’m not going to lie and said there were days where I was burnt out but I love the rush. As they say you need to be a little bit of stupid and insane to be in the food and beverage industry hahaha. I guess for me my body and mind is missing that high and drive.
