Ok I get it was a few years ago but really? 25k doesn't sound like much even 15 years ago

A head chef was £36-50k 15 years ago.
A head chef now is around £50-60k for an average one.

Head chef in Ireland 10 years ago would’ve been on about €40k

$480.77 a week before taxes. At 40 hours a week it works out to $12.02 an hour.
15 years ago, that was ok pay for your run of the mill line cook position at a bar and grill type place outside of any of the major cities.

This episode aired in 2003, media wage in UK back then was 21124£ so while I can’t say if he was on good head chef money he was making good UK money

Being able to work in a kitchen and quench the passion for the industry is worth more than all the money.

I moved to England in 2015 and was on £18,000 as a pastry cdp. Went up to £19,000 the following year. By 2018 I was on £24,000 as a head pastry chef. I left the kitchen after Covid as the wages in management were better. Was offered £40,000 to go back to the kitchen which would have been lovely but I’m not going back to those mental hours. I have kids.

exactly, that jumped out at me too when I first saw it. I think money is different in the UK. the value of it. the government pays for more stuff, people overall have less.

In my first restaurant management job, I was paid $28K, and that was in 2015. I was grossly underpaid then, but need the first job on my resume.

This was almost 20 years ago and was in the uk, at the time £1 was worth $1.72. Still not great but he also put out shit food.

Do you not remember the total reset that happened a few years ago when everyone lost their jobs and then were rehired for 10 cents on the dollar? Because I sure as fuck do.
