i ran a michelin star restaurant as cdc working 70+hr weeks and can confirm i lived off of frozen vegetarian nuggets, sourdough, hot chip, + protein shakes
A girl I briefly dated who was really into Michelin starred chefs told me once that without exception all her chef exes would subsist almost completely on junk food and instant noodles. I think about that a lot.

this is literally exactly what its like to be a cdc/sous chef of a restaurant. you come up with cool shit only for the exec chef (who barely holds it together) to get all the credit or use your work to impress mfs like they came up with it themselves 🫠

Claire has actually only ever eaten food Syd has come up with. Carmy made Syd's pasta recipe, then Syd cooked for her all night. The only thing Carmy did was poor hot broth over frozen grapes, which were also Sydney's idea. He really put in 0 mental effort into that relationship.

it makes me so happy to see the james beard awards tonight celebrate far more diversity than its years prior (finally). its about time bipoc chefs get as much recognition for paving the way in the culinary industry as white chefs do.
