Hey, all. I’m the dishwasher who made that chicken parm a few weeks back. I just did some training shifts, and my first line shift is in 3 days.

If it’s what you want to do, good for you homie. I started as a dish with zero experience and moved my way up. It’s okay to ask questions, it’s okay to ask the “why”, it’s okay to fuck things up, and it’s okay to be proud of the work you’re doing. But you’re never at a place where you can’t learn something from someone.

Right before the pandemic shutdowns, I worked at a place with a dishwasher that did some prep at a neighboring restaurant before. He made one of the best things I ever ate (blackened snapper with jalapeños). I trained him the last week we were open to cover garma for me so I could take over sautée (didn’t happen).
A couple weeks ago one of my fellow cooks at my current place mentioned he did freelance cooking at the other restaurant. I asked him if that dishie was still there.
“Yup. I know exactly who you’re talking about. He’s a sous chef now.”
In a way sucks because of the position I’ve been put in, but then I think about that snapper and realize he deserves it.

I started washing dishes at 12, and got asked to watch the fryers while someone went on a smoke break. Been cooking since.

If your stuff looks like that all the time, you’re gonna do fine

The life of a dishie is my favorite. You either start from there and climb to chef or management, or stay a dishwasher forever.
Though I have seen some become servers.

As much as platitudes go, good luck homie. Can I get an extra tartar sauce cup tho what the hell is that serving lol
There’s a lot of cliche in *act with urgency* but it goes a long way in our industry. Effort, time, and some luck is the only thing that will separate you from where you want to end up, and where you will end up. And you can only ever control one of those.
Also keep yourself and your work place clean.

Well you can definitely make me fish and chips any day.
BonJovicus
Better looking fish n chips than I see at a lot of places that offer it. From one former dishie to another good luck.
