This Cuck Chef Would Kill Trump With Bad Food

[Veloce]

Now, this guy is a good cook. But that stance...and facial expression. So gay!

hahaha dude this post struck a chord with me. I actually worked on the line at a fine dining place (no Michelin stars but good food nonetheless). Both the chef de cuisine and the sous chef were just like this dude: heavily tatted up and cocky as hell. Great cooks, don't get me wrong, but this attitude like we're saving lives and not just cooking good food for rich people. The funny thing is the executive chef was French and not at all like you'd think. Very modest guy, well-groomed, no tats and very old school and serious. ACtually, if you watch Chef's Table France, the majority of French chefs are like that. They're not into the "badass chef" look, they just care about putting out the best product possible.

The vast majority of cooks and chefs in the world are like this. As much as I love to make fun of French guys I work with, they're consistently some of the hardest working guys in the industry. I think cooking is a noble profession, and a good line of work for people that were never able to sit still in school. It's a true blue collar job, involving a heavy dose of mental and physical stress. It's a beautiful thing to watch when it's done well; running a restaurant line staffed with high calibre line cooks, all working in unison like a well-oiled machine. I'm hoping the hype and spotlight around food dies down and it can return to being just another job like carpenter, electrician, or mechanic.

With people waking up to the importance of not eating garbage, people will have a hard time lumping in a professional chef in the same category as a carpenter, mechanic, etc. Especially younger people are spending more money on experiences, rather than things, so eating good food has become more important.

I've done my share of PR photos. In damn near every case I get some asshole photographer telling me, "Yeah, stand to one side, with your arms crossed, c'mon give me your best 'rock star chef' look". In every case I've refused and told them I'm not playing that fucking game. They can get a picture of me with my arms by my side and a smile on my face like a normal person.

How often do they try to get you to incorporate knives into the picture for no reason?

I've been working my way through some of the better local restaurants lately and I don't know if there's just one photographer doing all their profiles or what but about 80% of these guys have multiple pictures of themselves holding chef's knives in cringe-y ways.

Holding one knife over their mouth and one in the air, covering one eye with a knife Illuminati style, holding two knives with arms outstretched like they're about to slice up the fennel that murdered their family, etc. It always reminds me of those memes with the fedora wearing guys holding katanas in silly poses that have cringe-y text overlaid. It's not a good look.

[...] these chefs [...] can afford to get on their soapbox SOLELY because of capitalism and [...] patronage [...]

This is a direct reference to an important, fatal flaw in Postmodernism.

Philosopher Ken Wilber calls it a performative contradiction.

The postmoderns rail against what Jordan Peterson would call social hierarchies, while simultaneously embodying an hierarchical format in and of themselves and their communities.

Thus, they have encountered a sort of conceptual roadblock impeding their progress. They have no other option but to go back and find a way around it, or else fall behind and go out of style (meme death).


On the other hand, the skill of cooking up a fine meal will never go out of style.
