A buddy of mine just made it to sous chef in a local Michelin-starred restaurant. He told me it's super stressful but also incredibly rewarding.

 

[Chromie]

yeah so uh what the fuck i just finalized my menu and im sitting here shook

i was on gaf 5 years ago posting about needing help to flee abusive nonsense in florida to go to pastry school in a state ive never been to while young and dumb as shit. now this week i'm taking over the michelin restaurant im currently sous chef of and am doing a coursed prefix dessert menu. all the tickets to my popup sold out a few weeks ago, which i still cant wrap my head around.

my chef blew up in NYT last month so ive been hiding under rocks about my career to avoid any semblance of spotlight but now this tuesday is the day im putting myself out there as the pastry chef of this restaurant in this city and im TERRIFIED

Holy shit. I remember your previous posts. Congrats to you!! You will be great! <3

 

[Rand a. Thor]

Congrats, it sounds like you made it in life! Now the real fun begins, Michelin standards are balls to the walls insane, I can never see myself getting to that level and commiting to the grind.

I'm very lucky in my restaurant where we only have 8 of us so I only have to manage a small tight knit crew. I can't imagine being sous at a michelin gig that has high covers though.

it is extremely difficult to maintain consistency and high standards the bigger the seats in a restaurant. I hope your friend can keep up and crushes it in their new position tho!

 

[Deleted member 28461]

Wow, that restaurant looks amazing. Well done.

 

[Altairre]

Congratulations! I wish you all the success, you can do it!

 

[Superpupperbabysassy]

Congrats 🎉

 

[dingobingo]

IronGAF still going strong, you've come a long way.

Huge congratulations! Food looks amazing and really technically and creatively accomplished! If I lived nearby the restaurant (I'm not even in the same country), I'd definitely pop in to try some of the desserts.

 

[ABK281]

You work at a restaurant that serves tires?

 

[aerie]

Awesome! Best of luck.

 

[demosthenes]

Grats OP, sounds like you've worked your ass off, I hope it goes well.

 

[jetpacks was yes]

Congrats! I remember your posts from GAF and the famous pastry finger accident. Your gonna ace it! I have also had some mindfuck shit and then positive lifechanging experiences in the last 5 years. Best to keep believing in yourself.
