The Nasty Bits

Sunday, April 18th, 2010
“If you can catch a chef in a quiet,reflective moment over a drink, and ask what the worst aspects of the job are, you will probably get the following answer: ” The heat, the pressue, the fast pace, the isolation from normal society, the long hours, the pain, the relentless, never-ending demands of the profession.” If you wait awhile, maybe two more drinks, and ask again – this time inquiring about the best parts of being a chef – more often than not, the chef will pause, take another sip of beer, smile… and give you exactly the same answer.”
- Anthony Bourdain, The Nasty Bits
