What is the best type of restaurant to work for to get started in becoming an Executive Chef? |
I have alot of very good cooking skills and also have a love for food and being able to cook and try many different things. I have always wanted to cook and now I am ready to get started. What would be a good place to start? I'm 22 with 4 years of serving experience. Work for good chefs. Learn from them. Only if you have a good background in food should you even think about culinary school. I have hired too many people that were graduates of culinary schools and they come out thinking they know everything. Those graduates are usually out of the buisness in 5 years! Learn from the best, put in the time, its long and hard but a good chef never stops learning A nice resort Hotel Restaurant doing anything to just get your foot in the door. If you want to become an Executive Chef, you need to go to a culinary school and work in food service industry. You can go to school part time and work in a hotel restaurant to gain work experience. I used to do that in school and had own a restaurant before First is to get good track records of yourself. Start low and build your reputation up. Hells Kitchen It helps to work in restaurants that has a good chef that you can train under. Don't forget a culinary school education which helps greatly. The basic title of "Executive Chef" means not only are you the chef of the kitchen, but you are also a manager. So do expect to hold a lot of responsibility like hiring and firing your kitchen crew, and lots of office paperwork while still doing what you love - cooking. Its not an easy balance. |
