Hello this is my first blog I'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. I recently discovered that I want to go in the culinary Field so I got a job at a hotel in may. My position was a pantry cook basically I did salads for the restaurant and cold pastas for banquet. I wanted to get experience around the kitchen so the chef moved me a round and I work on the line and I do Pantry sometimes too. I'm only 17 so you can imagine the stress. I'm in high school and currently looking at what schools I want to go to and if I want to get an associates degree or bachelors in Culinary Management. So as someone at my Job told me I'm low on the totem pole and im "the kitchen bitch" That kind of pissed me off I do every thing that everyone else does I consider my self a cook,but he told me I',m prep I work the Breakfast line by myself on weekends I dont think a prep does that. I get hassled my him to move faster when we get busy I under stand where he comes from I know I need to move faster but hey I'm only about 7 months into this career and I'm still learning. I'm consider my self a line cook because thats what" I mostly work on is the line,but I do do pantry some times too. So I guess you can call me a "Roundsman" or swing cook,but what pissed me off about what he said was that he said I was just Prep. I'm a cook. on my Scheduling it said Pantry/Prep,but I hardly do Pantry anymore. According to the chef we dont have any prep cooks anyway that enough of my rant. I will try to post everyday.
Oh that a picture I took while working breakfast.
