I've never watched a restaurant or cooking series, but I enjoyed reading you writing about one. I once spent half a year as a dishwasher in a kitchen run by just one chef, who had been there for twenty-five years. That guy was a juggler and an athlete to keep things moving when the place was busy.
Thanks for this, I’ve been dying to know what you’d think of the series. I’m relieved to know it’s realistic - and so interesting to hear the details you share. It does seem such intense pursuits of excellence are more often than not, doomed to “failure” but oh! What the work can do to transform our spirits!

Kitchens are the domain of the multitasker
