There is no fucking way you could come in and do my job, not even close.
Not because my job is "hard" but because my job requires education that you have not undertaken.
Because Icarusfall is an idiot.
I have worked as a busboy for 7 years and a waiter for another 5, I know restaurant business is tough and certainly appreciate hardwork that chefs put in (especially in the summer in front of the flame). But even at 19, I know that shit is pretty far down the line in terms of hard work when you have fucking coal miners and god knows what else in the more poverty stricken area of the world.
But then again, that's perspective and empathy that an uneducated moron would never even begin to understand.
Enough borderlining, take it to Fight Club.Quote:

Intensity wise being a cook is pretty nasty, even on the lower end of the spectrum. It's one of the few blue collar jobs you most likely take home with you, since Prep is such a huge part of it.
I mean I was white collar for about 2 1/2 years, returning to a normal blue collar job to make ends meet was a fucking shell shock. I can't imagine what someone who was white collar for the last ten or more years would go through.
Off the top of my head
1) Alaska Fisherman
2) Coal Miners
3) Cops
4) Armed Services
5) Road Crews
6) Roofers
7) General Laborers
8) High Voltage Linemen
9) Shipping Departments
10) Anybody who works for the sanitation department
These people have it way worse than I, Icarus, or mostly anybody here.
YOU COULDN'T DO MY SPECIALIZED JOB WITHOUT THE CORRECT TRAINING AND EDUCATION, YEAH WELL YOU COULDN'T DO *MY* SPECIALIZED JOB WITHOUT THE CORRECT TRAINING AND EDUCATION
What are we even arguing about anymore?
Wrong, everybody can cook food. Our moms teach us this when we're like 5, if we're worth a shit.
This is the point of food (and art) criticism. Sometimes you're wrong and didn't realize it. But the guy telling you he doesn't like onions and doesn't even want to try your dish is not criticizing, he's just doing a bad job at eating out.Quote:

BTN, my fiance can't cook for shit, outside of some colombian food.Quote:
