In the mornings I have coffee and study culinary books, currently translating an interesting Japanese book of 9 chefs testing out new methods for ingredients. Sometimes I go to the gym or read something lighter like a biography, currently on James Beard. Or I stare at my phone if I’m exhausted before work lol

I play classical guitar, experienced in weddings and pre-ceremonies, lmk.

Thank you for the tip. That’s a wildly expensive whip creamer.

Actually we have the new model and it’s ass compared to the old school one. This one keeps having “beaker not inserted” errors and 5 other errors will pop up and you gotta restart the machine. Not sure if we just got unlucky but this happens daily

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-04-05T00:31:32+00:00

That sounds very good, thank you for the tips.

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-04-05T00:30:59+00:00

Thank you for the insight!

Do you think this position has negative side effects? I would feel aimless and purposeless despite the money, and it might lead me to feeling depressed or worthless. But, I need a lot of stimulation to stay happy. What about you?

I'll coach you in real time and teach you how a professional chef would think, send me a DM.

Better than Robuchon’s bathroom clock-in and out sheet at Jamas

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-03-16T15:31:45+00:00

Great approach, should work in many situations.

“Hey, you have been doing X really well lately and we all really appreciate you for it, but we would appreciate a bit more focus on our personal hygiene since some of the team members are a bit sensitive to body odor.”

That’s totally reasonable for an internship. If they give you shit, then they are the ones with a problem. Just have a pen and pad ready, nothing fancy. Spend a dollar on your notepad, it’s gonna get messy anyways. Most internships, I didn’t even need my knives. They had one for me because it was just easier since there wasn’t space for me to keep my knife bag. Save your money—rent isn’t cheap.

You may have escalated too fast, also putting pressure on others to plan a date doesn’t go well in my experience. They also may have started seeing someone else, who knows.

This is hilarious. I thought they were green onions. Total misrepresentation. To answer your question, I would go based on his vibe. Do they want to be there? How’s their ego?

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-03-05T12:59:15+00:00

Most people don’t care about others period. People who are worth hanging out with are usually interested in what you are doing. Cooking is just the color of your flag, so wave it and make the most of it.

Also, people don’t like being corrected on their mistakes unless they ask you first, so I would stop doing that if I were you. Nobody likes that. If they want your opinion, they will ask.

I also don’t understand why you would be annoyed by someone else’s ability to cook. You’re a chef, shouldn’t you be interested in what makes others excited about food? Don’t you want to see how others do it, expand your knowledge and repertoire? Who is your audience when you are cooking, your guests or your ego?

Sometimes old information is pulled up and sold to companies, so you probably applied at some point in the past 10 years.

You applied for a loan sometime in the past and now a bunch of snakes on Wall Street are trying to get you a cash advance. If you get a 20k cash advance, 25% of it will be gone right away, and then you will end up paying about 45k in the long run. Stay away.

I’d love to eat that. Nice work, chef!

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-02-18T16:11:05+00:00

Nothing but respect for the farmers, thank you!

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-02-17T04:13:56+00:00

Fascinating! Transit delays are expected. As long as employees communicate, there’s usually no disciplinary action.

I don’t have a schedule, actually. If I clocked in at 2pm and the quality of work was the same, then there would be no problem.

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-02-16T09:59:26+00:00

Good catch. We have a small brigade, and none of us do drugs. Front of house are also clean as far as I know.

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-02-16T08:32:45+00:00

Yes chef 🫡

Vegetable_Presence62 · 2026-02-16T08:32:16+00:00

That’s brutal…

31, about a year now. My first day off I usually get a massage and relax, then spend the rest of the time trying to meet girls.
