They’re happy to take your money if you’re five foot seven inches and two hundred fifty pounds, but what they don’t mention is that you will be at a terrible, terrible disadvantage when applying for a job in a busy kitchen. As chefs know (literally) in their bones (and joints), half the job for the first few years—if not the entirety of your career—involves running up and down stairs (quickly), carrying bus pans loaded with food, and making hundreds of deep-knee bends a night into low-boy refrigerators. In conditions of excruciatingly high heat and humidity of a kind that can cause young and superbly fit cooks to falter. There are the purely practical considerations as well: kitchen work areas—particularly behind the line— being necessarily tight and confined . . . Bluntly put, can the other cooks move easily around your fat ass? I’m only saying it. But any chef considering hiring you is thinking it. And you will have to live it."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438864431927265875.post-68919152555192147072011-04-25T20:37:16.974-05:002011-04-25T20:37:16.974-05:00it's always nice when a customer like Helda, w...it's always nice when a customer like Helda, who you think is giving you the evil eye, leaves with a smile after you are kind to them. My guess, she probably gets more negative attention than anything and has come to expect it. Good for you Eddie!
