A chef?
Menu design, HR management, vendor management, expediting, then maybe cooking.
Lucas Jackson
that's perfect if you run a restaurant that serves scrambled eggs, eggs benedict and random fuckery that the chef has no prep on.
I sense a Michelin star on the way

- common sense - feeling - creativity - knowing your abilities - knowing your audience
I'm gonna add two more and say you need the "wisdom" and "humility" to to seek a sensible pairing between the latter two. First three according to Martin Yan *hehe*

Why tf would it matter if a chef can cook scrambled eggs, and wouldn't the basic fact that he can cook food ensure this, and also a retarded monkey with less than 5 years of training under gordon ramsay can cook good scrambled eggs so what

Are you like an egg fetishist or something?
Nathaniel Moore
I know it's ass backwards, but after cooking for many people and clients in different settings and across the world, I realized that the food is mainly about what you can do with it––as little or as much, as simple or as complex, as traditional or as forward thinking, etc.––to appease others. No one but yourself cares about your LOLmeme signature dish or w/e unless it's something that another person––whether it's a buncha of 4-year old children or an absolute gourmand––wants to truly eat and enjoy eating.
the egg thing is wayyyy overrated, no chef worth his salt has worked someplace that does breakfast in years. seriously if you work some place that serves eggs/breakfast, then you're probably a dinerjocky and not an actual chef

Julian Gonzalez
That's not true. Where I live brunch is a big fucking deal, and no chef, cook can get by here without knowing how to flip an egg. Even fine dining places have it up here
Cameron Kelly
Dude, it's fucking eggs. A hamster can cook perfect eggs. I can't believe you guys eat this meme up.
Brandon Nelson
different strokes I guess, where I live brunch is a thing of the past, several places have tried to revive it over the years but just don't get enough business to keep it up for long. and that's with bonuses like free all you can drink mimosas. people just aren't that into brunch around here and only dinners/greasy spoons in this area do breakfast
John Price
post ur eggs, hotshot

Sounds like you can only cook two things well, scrabmled egg and egg benedict. You think, especially, cooking the later would impress whomever you are dating or planning to date.
Remember, even in european style cooking, those two dishes are low plebian tier. In other styles of cuisines, they are just trash.
OP, you need to educate yourself before you shame yourself even further.
Jace Edwards

I bet OP doesn't know more than two classical sauces and thinks melt cheddar is one of them
Easton Carter
Fucking this
Lincoln Carter
hahhaha eggs and eggs
Owen Bailey
Wtf, the nearest you got to the cooking is lurking Veeky Forums and seeing few episodes of masterchef? Because that's how you sound like.
Bentley Bailey
I was working a brunch once (same guy in the thread) and one of the customers ordered an eggs Benedict (we do it with braised greens and pulled pork on a halved buttermilk biscuit) and she sent it back because she didn't want the 'cheese sauce' that came on top
Julian King
FUCKING ROASTIE WHORE
I HATE WOMEN
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Lucas Young
Actually he's right.
At most of the top culinary schools in the country, proving that you can cook an egg any way youre told to perfection is the first big test. Also many top executive chefs will ask someone on their stage to cook an egg to gauge their experience level.
As a breakfast chef at a fine dining restaurant that we serve 2 eggs for 6 dollars. Probably the hardest thing to learn was how to get perfectly shaped and colored eggs and not ever breaking the yolk. Fucking the bitch who I worked with in the beginning had a culinary degree, been in the industry for 10 years, most of which was at a pretty top tier restaurant. Even for her it was pretty hard.

If you can't flip and omelette or a pancake you a shitty cook.

If you can't flip an omelette or a pancake you are a pathetic human being, let alone cook.

What's the matter? Learning to cook all on your own since mommy took your tendies away?
Wyatt Hernandez
Damn, venturing over to Veeky Forums from /b/, /sp/, and Veeky Forums for the first time. Are there actual chefs here? Seems like it. I figured it was mostly a place for people who casually like to cook. I've been trying to improve my cooking to make my weekly food preps more palatable but this seems out of my league.
Adam Perry
>Are there actual chefs here? Seems like it.
No. Maybe a few on the entire board, but in your average shitty thread like this? It's people who work at fucking Chipotle and McDonalds living in fantasy land and stating shit they heard Gordon Ramsay say once to be a fact they've learnt from 'experience'.
It'd be pretty dumb to believe much of the shit spewed here, people lie for their own ego far more than people tell the truth.
Wyatt Martinez
So literally Veeky Forums for fitness or /sp/ for sports. That's what I figured, just wanted to confirm.
Charles Rivera
Exactly
John Myers
IHOP then? Sorry didn't mean to offend, I know you're softball rivals.
Angel Jones
We have as many chefs here as /sp/ has NBA players.
Xavier Murphy
>/b/ /sp/ Veeky Forums I didn't know people like you actually existed.

Hey, that sounds pretty much like me.
Charles Jenkins
Think that's an odd combo? My boards are /toy/, /k/, /vp/ and Veeky Forums.
Asher Wright
My boards are /b/, Veeky Forums, /pol/, and Veeky Forums
Angel Foster
At least you don't come off as some underage retard with a board list like that. /b/, /sp/, and Veeky Forums is pretty damning.
Joseph Torres
>/k/, /toy/ and /vp/ >not childish autism
Adam Collins
How is /sp/ and Veeky Forums underage shit? /toy/k/vp/ fag here. /toy/ is full of autism-incarnate 6-year-olds, I assume, going by the posts there.
My instinct was to shitpost you for calling /k/ childish autism, but... damn you're right. I hate that place.
I should stop wasting my time on things that I don't even enjoy huh.
/vp/ is alright, if you ignore 80% of the threads.
Gavin Clark
Not a single one of you cocksmokers is actually a chef
Ryan Reyes
sounds like you need to get good
Colton Williams
probably very few chefs but there's definitely a number of line cooks here
Joshua Cruz
Chefs are too busy screaming at people IRL to post on here.
Aiden Moore
The folds in the traditional chef's hat represent the 100 ways the wearer can cook an egg. Mastery of eggs has been used as an indication of chef skills for over a century.
Jayden Morgan
Hahahahaha This hat was made from japanese steel folded over 1000x lmao what an idiot
Juan White
/sp/'s biggest problem is people way too committed to their team more than being underage. Veeky Forums is mostly frogposters who have discovered an outlet that they think is the magic bullet for fixing themselves. But /sp/ often jumps on sports news faster than ESPN and the banter is decent, and Veeky Forums contains some good info every now and again.
