We are a group of young chefs looking to make a difference in our world. Our site provides new and innovative information and resources enhancing the employability and cultural literacy of young chefs. We use approachable technology to connect potential employees and employers to increase opportunities for young chefs and broaden their horizons. We dream of creating new networks amongst culinary students, young cooks and chefs, employers, industry professionals and food and beverage entrepreneurs.
Make sure that you go into cooking for the right reasons. People call me for advice about their kids who want to go into cooking, and I always tell them, "You know, the kid should work in a restaurant as a dishwasher, waiter, cook, whatever, to get the taste and essence of that thing that may seem glorious from the outside," but after they've been in there for a couple of months, they can realize whether it's the love of their life or something that they don't want to do at all. If you do it because it gratifies you, it makes you happy to cook for people, and it fills up your life, then go ahead with it. And you may become famous, but it may not happen, which is more likely. So it's in that case when you've done it for the right reasons that you'll have a good life. But if you're getting into the business to become famous or whatever, it's not the right reason because it probably won't happen.
