Ehh most places I worked wanted to pay you dirt because “you’re apprenticed to a master chef”
I made 4x working semi fast food over what a “master chef” wanted to pay
I’m sure not all are like this but a lot of them are

yeah, fast food pays more than actual kitchens

I had a friend who was a chef at a restaurant in Australia that regularly made it into the “top 10 best in the world” for food critics. He was unbelievably knowledgeable, had spent time working for free all over the world just to learn. He was earning $21 aud. Which is peanuts.
He’s now a lawyer.

TBH, that 20 bucks an hour is going to feel like minimum wage once you’ve been trained properly and it won’t hit you until you’re way past the threshold where you could’ve complained about it and had people listen to you.

No experience = no bad habits you need to unlearn

Fuck, I feel lucky to have what I’ve got. I make $24 working at a small town bar and grill, $27 if I’m shift lead for the day.
