After reading several posts about how crap it is to be a chef. I thought I’d share my views on the great things about being a chef. Feel free to add more positives in the comments below.
Great things about being a chef.
- Chefs are sexy as hell. Nothing more attractive than someone who is confident in the kitchen.
- They know how to chill. Days off are days off. They deserve their down time.
- Chefs are easy to feed. We always appreciate when someone else cooks for us
- Chefs have a very basic and low level sense of humour. Just saying “boobs” is hilarious
- A chef can make a meal out of pretty much anything
- Chefs know a little bit about everything. From quantum physics to celebrity gossip.
- A good chef will never be unemployed. Unless they want to be.
- Chefs can do the washing up faster than your mother.
- Chefs can out drink most humans… and still turn up for work the next day.
- Chefs don’t get phased by general life stresses. A chef will just get on with it.
- You’ll know if a chef doesn’t like you. They’ll either tell you to your face or you’ll just get that vibe.
- Chefs love to be told what they should put on their menu. Lol. No they really don’t.
- Marco Pierre White is a god among us
- Keith Floyd was a bad ass
- Chefs are born, not trained
- What happens in the kitchen, stays in the kitchen. After all the rage and swearing during service, we all share a beer after
- There is no sexism in the kitchen. A chef is a chef. Boobs or balls? You get the job done with respect and banter
- Kitchen jokes will never be understood by the general public. It’s very non PC. There is a line but it’s covered with vegetable peelings
- A chef can prepare a family Christmas meal (if not working) in just a few hours. Not the all-day event you endured as a child.
- A chef can see through bullshit, walls and around corners. They know what’s going on everywhere
- A chef can identify an item by how it smells as it starts to burn. Plastic, wooden spoon or pine nuts. I’m sure that’s a skill, right?
- Chefs are loyal friends
- Chefs are almost unrecognisable when not in chef whites
- A chefs significant other will be way more attractive than expected. They always punch above their weight in the looks department. (See point 1)
- Chefs know when to shut the **** up!
Obviously this is written as a bit of fun and is not to be taken that seriously. I’m just here for bants!
