Dining and Cooking
My Dad wanted me to go to college and get a conventional job, but I dropped out. I know he was disappointed, but when I got my first gig in Fine Dining he bought me a Wusthof. He left this World 12/23/24.

My Dad wanted me to go to college and get a conventional job, but I dropped out. I know he was disappointed, but when I got my first gig in Fine Dining he bought me a Wusthof. He left this World 12/23/24.


I'm bottom left.

I'm grateful today that he at least got to visit the one of the Restaurants I ran: and saw his Son's name on the menu with the title of Executive Chef.
Thank you for supporting me doing what I wanted to do, Dad.

If you're reading this: please show a little love to your fellow industry people. We're all a bunch of degenerate low-life's, but we're in this together.

Now get back to work ❤️

    I call bullshit. Your dad wasn’t dissappinted in you. 

    He was just worried about you. He wanted you to have a good career and not have to work crazy hard to do it. But if you love cooking and aren’t homeless. I’m sure your dad is proud as fuck

    Lost mine December 29th, 2019 and every year since has been a gamble of whether the holidays are an emotional struggle or not. This year they seem to be taking the cake. Chin up chef, there’s meals to make. Hope you’re doing okay.

    Your dad sounds like a great guy. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure he wanted to see you flourish, no matter what you did.

    Im sorry for your loss. Your dad loves you and is going to be rooting for you from wherever he is. He will always be in your heart!

    I lost my dad to MND the month before 23/11

    He would always tell me he’s proud of me as long as I’m happy and I’m trying my best.

    Don’t feel like you need to stay in the industry to make your dad proud. He just wanted you to enjoy what you do.

    It’s rough mate ..and it will always hurt. But you’re your own person.. and only you can determine how it turns out.

    Always be strong and always be respectful.

    Im so sorry, OP. I am sure your dad was not disappointed in you, especially because he got you a Wusthof knife! What a thoughful gift! I hope you are doing the best you can right now.

    I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my own dad just before Christmas and it made me dislike the holiday for years.

    Mine never said anything about college to me but he did want me to work a job that used my brain more than my feet. Which I did not do. I spent years thinking that he would be disappointed in me for going into cooking. I have my own kids now and I just want what’s best for them. And I think that’s what my dad wanted for me. And it’s what your dad wanted for you.

    Take care of yourself, remember the love you two had for each other.

    Lost my pops when I was still a kid, he was young too. Wishing you a happy holidays and hoping the happiest memories will be able to support you through these difficult times.

    Cheers to the pics and memories! He will always be with you, keep his legacy alive and tell stories!

    Dad’s not gone, he’s just in the other room listening to what you’re doing and very occasionally offering advice.

    My Dad’s been doing this since 1997, he’s with me – just out of sight.

    Sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you as I spend time with my culinary career encouraging mother in the hospital this Christmas.

  26. Gloster_Thrush

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Hope you are finding comfort in these comments and know a whole lot of people are thinking of you today. 🖤

    Dude that’s awesome. Still have a knife from my grandpa. Shit will last forever for me. Use it at the house and you know we all don’t cook at home haha

  29. upsetting_innuendo

    giving you a good knife is the most dad seal of approval i can imagine, i’m sorry for your loss homie

    Sorry for your loss, do you still have the Wusthof? Where does it sit in your rotation out of curiosity. And Welcome to the “I lost my father club” I lost mine in 2021, the shirts sucks, but the memories are pure gold.

    All the great chefs had that one parent who at first were disappointed at their culinary career, but like every other loving parent, they loved them no matter what 💕 My condolences Brother, he’s proud of you no matter what 🙏🏼
