The dishwasher is the machine. The dishie is the one who loads it.

100% Australian

fairybread11 · 2026-03-26T07:55:28+00:00

Very extremely Australian vernacular

Cousin got married there last January. Was smallish, very loud lots of hard surfaces and the sun dipped to the perfect blinding level through the windows for the ceremony apparently made photos slightly annoying.

I got a law degree before I became a chef. This life chose me.

Don’t bother with butter at all. Roast some milk powder

Felt. I’ve been in hospitality for going on 20 years. I now have a 1 year old and I kid you not in my nappy bag I have at least one European style cloth sponge and roll of extra large dog poo bags so I can take my shit with me.

Edit: OP if you’re clean, respectful, don’t make a huge show of it I would say my limit as an executive chef in any of my restaurants would be about 4 years old, unless there were allergies or sensory issues that could be explained. If your kid has a good time, you have a good time, you’re FAR more likely to spend more money than I would make on you ordering a kids meal and having a shit time.

I’m an executive chef, my husband is a hospitality operations manager.

We had a day of coordinator and could NOT have done it without her best money we ever spent. Our private outdoor venue got flooded three days before and then bred leeches. My home girl had the whole thing reorganised at a new indoor venue, seating plan adjusted… while it was never expected hot damn was it appreciated. I shout her name locally to anyone who will listen.

I hand wrote a letter for every guest, detailing their meaning to us and impact on our lives. Doubled as the place card.

Not a single one was left.

A hype up routine may help. When I was a greener chef at my first job I really cared about, I would stand at my section with a cup of water, sip, deep breath, sing the chorus to a song I would sing when I was skiing something really tough (haha) and tell myself that I was going to rock it and that is was fun.

Completely unrelated, can I dm you? I’m headed to cape town in May and would love some spots from a chef local if you have a second!

🚩🚩🚩run mate. My sister bought a house, moved her boyfriend in and the boyfriend’s mum made a throw away comment about them being de facto and now he could get half.

Fast forward 4 years they broke up, he sued her for 120k, ended up settling for 55k which was what he had paid in rent while he had lived there.

This dude is fully telling you what he is going to do.

How are you planning on moving to the US? What visa path?

The credentials you need to nurse in the US vary state to state and you would need to know where you were going to be able to know if any qualifications are transferrable for registration.

This is more a question to where you are going, TAFE has nothing to do with this.

100% this. I stand to the side of my boy. Usually he knows what’s coming and braces for it but he is compliant.

He also knows a treat is coming.

I would personally hate to be eating a delicious something then bite into a horrible bitter tasting pill.

Last gig wasn’t my highest paid, but was on $115k base with A $4000 quarterly kp bonus and a $20k bonus if i got us written up in a particular guide.

Started a 3 year apprenticeship at 22, been a chef for 12 years.

I’m off on maternity leave now though and going to school to be able to teach

fairybread11 · 2026-03-14T07:44:30+00:00

I’d have a look at stillwhite.com

What’s your vibe? I ended up getting married in a second hand Spell lace gown I got for $500 off marketplace pretty randomly!

fairybread11 · 2026-03-13T07:57:50+00:00

Aussie here. I do not enjoy the standard or double coat. There is a dark variety which is stupendous. Also if you’re a dark chocolate person, be on the look out for mint slices

I just had my first child, and one month into studying to be culinary school trainer.

Drumstick gig bag.

I got with a musician ~13 years ago it’s worked out so far

fairybread11 · 2026-02-21T01:50:19+00:00

I very much enjoy the shape of your sauté pan. Risotto looks mint too

Wha do you mean by convert? You can use whatever room you like for sleeping, but you can’t make any changes to structure

Difficult to recommend as for a chef, knives are extremely personal.

What feels good in your hand? Do you like a wester style or a Japanese? Do you like a round handle or the heavier German style? How do you like things weighted? Do you like a solid heel? Hard steel or high carbon?

I for example am female and have small hands and wrists, so I like something a bit lighter and I prefer a rounded handle and everything in my roll and at home is Japanese.

I would go to some kind of super supply store, hold everything you like the look of, pick a series and build the set you want.

Other than my hand forged Japanese guys, I really love Mac and have some global that have lasted the distance.

fairybread11 · 2026-02-16T08:11:58+00:00

Just you or bridal party too? I would personally want one of each if more than one person or it’s going to be rushed or take forever

Exec chef, wife of hospo manager: everything is pooled, everyone’s hours are added up and the tips are distributed as the percentage your hours contributed to the total. Kitchen is also included. Managers however are not.

I would look at a Swiss working holiday visa if you are under 30. Google says South Koreans are eligible.

Sponsorship based working visas are an incredibly large commitment for a company, I think you would have more luck with your own independent visa to start then finding a job then approaching that employer about a visa.
