Becoming a chef starts with you. Your discipline. Your standards. Your Skills. Your hours in the trenches when nobody’s watching. But being a chef? That’s about turning around and pouring all of that into other people. It’s about teaching, mentoring, pushing, and believing in cooks the same way someone once believed in you. The real joy in this industry isn’t the fame or the food — it’s watching someone you trained level up, own their craft, and start leading the way for the next person. Develop

1. TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYTHING! Thats not your job the sooner you realize that easier your life comes. there is a big difference between being in control and being controlling . Be a leader. Set a standard lead by example. The second we try to start controlling things we cannot control, angry customers, no call no-shows, a broken piece of equipment, etc., that’s when things get harder. Your job as the chef is to address issues as they come up and do the best you can with what you have. Remember

10 Things Nobody Tells You About Becoming a Chef 1. You’re going to be really bad at first — like awful. Every step comes with failure and disappointment. It’s part of the process. 2. The progress is slow. Some days you won’t feel like you’re getting better. Some days you’ll feel like you got worse. 3. You’ll make massive sacrifices. The quicker and harder you make them, the sooner the rewards will come. 4. Don’t obsess over work–life balance early on. You’ll end up being shitty at both. You hav

This business will always reward the committed before it ever rewards the talented. Commitment is a verb and this is what you need to know about those who are : 1. They decide early. They stop keeping one foot out the door. BURN THE BOATS! 2. They commit before it makes sense. Long hours, slow progress, no guarantees. 3. They don’t dabble. This industry punishes people who treat it like a phase. 4. They stay when it stops being exciting and repetition replaces adrenaline. 5. They respect time as

There’s way more to being a chef than talent. Yeah, skill matters — if you can’t cook, you can’t cook. But too many chefs obsess over the food and forget the rest. They want to be the main character when, in reality, you’re a supporting actor in a much bigger story. What actually makes a chef successful is the set you bring into every moment: Mindset. Skillset. Toolset. Healthset. Every situation — a slammed service, a broken station, a tense conversation, a new menu launch — demands a different

Every dream comes with a cost. And when you’re paying it, it’s easy to forget why you started. Being a chef makes it even harder. The hours are long. The pressure is constant. And quitting always looks easier—especially when the grass sounds greener somewhere else. But the truth is, great things are hard. And most people don’t stick around long enough to see them happen. It’s all part of the process. Along the way you get stronger, smarter, and more resilient. Don’t let a moment of weakness defi

Chefs have a complicated relationship with food. We obsess over it, think about it constantly and build our lives around it — yet often treat our own nutrition like an afterthought. We taste all day, skip meals, binge at night, or eat scraps off the pass. Over time, that takes a toll — physically, mentally, emotionally. The ironic thing about being a chef is that food actually consumes us. We spend our lives learning how to make it better, faster, more profitable, etc. But we fail to ever think

It was such a blast being on @chefspsa podcast. We talked a lot about food, health, wellness, leadership, but we also had some fun and just talked straight up Chef shit. When Andre asked me where my bucket list meal would be it was an easy answer. Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago, hands-down. In the early 2000s there was only a small handful of chefs that were really killing fine dining in America. I remember the first time buying one of Charlie Trotter‘s cookbooks. The food was just so unique and t
