I need me some hard men chefs tbh but to each their own

My old college friend is in this article. I am going to get on my chef feminist soap box quick and state his wife does the exact same work as him, is his business partner and she has her own cookbook- yet isn’t featured because NYT wanted to feature soy bois. I have hated this article for weeks now. Gag me with a spoon.

No, thank you, al dente is fine.

Scott Rossi knew exactly what he was doing. It feels gross.

Great. Does this mean that food is going to become “sexy” again?
Move over rat boys.. we got soft boy cat daddys now

Also lolling at “seasonal.” Ah, yes, mid-April, when the gentle soft boy cooks arrive with the spring rains. But act fast! By mother’s day, they’ve all turned into chain-smoking, foul-mouthed fry cooks who’ll throw full cans of Monster Energy at your head if you ask them to work a double.

This just in: Not being a massive asshole is so remarkable we gotta make articles about it

That dude looks like the hardest he drinks is a Zima and doesn’t use any tobacco product. No way he has worked in a kitchen. I bet his arms have zero burns.

This is cringe. Why the media cannot find some decent chef to feature. Almost all media portraits chefs are fking assholes. It’s not like there are no assholes in the kitchen but portray their behavior as necessary to be a good chef? A lot of new cooks I have sometimes will intentionally be rude and disrespectful because they thought it’s part of being a good chef. A lot of chefs I respect always keep their ego and emotions in check.

I’ve worked with these kind of guys before. They never lasted. Not saying you need to be a tough guy but a good cook has to have some kind of fire and thick skin in them.

Oh boy back in the day I’d love to see a “soft boy” walk into my kitchen lol

Fire the editor that greenlit this entire cover but especially for “Soft Boy Cook”
Off with their head, straight to the gulag

I think this is just the media realizing that chefs today aren’t like the ones in movies. I’m two generations removed from those types of chefs. I listen to stories of older chefs tell stories of the chefs they worked under. Sometimes it’s stories the chef heard of an older chef’s stories.
Abusive behavior gets called out. Sexual harassment is frowned upon. We’re still a 50 years behind in culture but we try.

Ah yes. The fresh crop of culinary school grads ready to scrub pots and cry in the walk in.

I watched a food52 vid with this guy and he did a really nice poached fish recipe which I recreated at home and it was delish. Delicate, but delish.

Hide your tomatoes?

You know, I’m a bit of a seasonal chef myself. When service is going good, I’m in season. When service fxxking blows, I’m all the fxxking way out of season.

I’m right in the middle of a soft boy cook and an asshole chef so I’m just terrible at cooking.
The_clown_DBD
If my cook isn’t verbally abusive and stinks like an ash tray filled with coffee grounds, I don’t want ’em. Anyway, anyone else have to do a double take on that title?

I’ll be real I read this as soft bok choys at least three times

They have a separate walk-in to cry in!

Gets bullied by the tattooed prep girl that basically lives there.

They couldn’t come up with a better name than “soft boy cooks”

Finally my type of chef, cry in the walk in, have a smoke, make love to the hostess and cry when she leaves

I prefer my cooks to be hard and adult men.
