“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.” – from “Say Anything”
After 10 years working in cubicles I finally figured out that it’s not for me. Or better yet, I realized what I really want to do with my life, which as you may have guessed based on the title of my blog, is to go to culinary school with an eye to working in a kitchen in the future.
At the moment I’m trying to not get too far ahead of myself. I’m looking forward to the next year and have much to learn, though I do have some ideas as to what I’d like to be doing after school.
Cheers.
You an I have much in common, including our choice of blog topic and our abandonment of working for the Man. Liked the post on duck.
I have been reading your blog for the better half of a year now, and it’s nice to see that there are many of us following our passions and running like mad from our nightmares. I just finished my culinary schooling, which I enjoyed and now I have a gig sling pans, too.
Cool blog, keep up the good work.

Like Rama above I’ve also been following your blog for awhile now, unlike you I have not yet paid my dues in the corporate world and am still struggling with the decision of pursuing culinary arts professionally. Right now I am getting my first taste of life in the professional kitchen while trying to keep up appearances as a law student and figure it all out. Your blog is so informative and enlightening to me during this process so I just want to say thanks! keep blogging.
You’re new blog name. . . Oh good lord!
Hi Alan — I’m a recent follower and am always trying to dig up blogs about the restaurant industry, especially authored by those working BOH. My other half and I live in NYC where he is a line cook and I’ve spent a good chunk of time working as an event coordinator in the industry. I definitely chuckle reading about your escapades, as it’s one of those things we all know/love/hate.
Congrats to you & Erin on Nate, he’s an absolute doll face & sure to be a hoot..!
