Was it through culinary school, a family connection, or working your way up from dishwasher? Share your path into the world of cooking.
I skipped culinary school and got in by doing two weekend shifts as a ‘dishwasher’ at a neighborhood bistro; the sous saw I could hustle and moved me to prep the next week. Best move was walking in between 2–4 pm with a one-page resume and asking to trail — online apps are, , a black hole — if you can’t do unpaid trails, tell them you’ll start on paid prep for a week; what city are you in?
