Hi Morgan, I wanted to share my experience with you regarding the culinary school I am attending. I am the oldest in my class and I am attending the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. I love it. Every time I open up my knife kit it is like Christmas everyday. I already have a BS in Biology, so I am only getting my diploma. My courses are 6 week blocks and I have completed my foundation and culinary courses. I am in regionals right now. My first final consisted of the following and to be completed and plated in 2:45 min.: Mise En Place, fabricate a chicken into 7 pieces( 2 breasts, 1 leg, 1 thigh, 1 drumstick, 2 wings), roast, saute', grill and braise the chicken, mire poix, sachet, 3 sides(mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and rice pilaf), bake bread, 3 sauces(veloute', sub sauce, and hollandaise) and the final presentation of all the dishes. It was nerve racking, but fun. I hope this helps you get an idea of culinary school. Best of luck!

Efff culinary school with a ten foot pole graduated got best in culinary have an associates. Ive been working in the industry for 12 years. When I went into culinary school had 6 years prior. If you want to know how to cook watch the food channel. Dont go to culinary school if you cant cook you'll waste your time. They will teach you the business aspect of the industry and some classical bs. Talant and honing of your skills come from experience and sweat.. oh blood and tears too. Work in the industry before signing that deed to the devil because guess what no culinary job will ever pay you enough to pay that off in any life time if you live on your own independently trust me. And at that point your frustrated af to make ends meet. Thats what the admissions people dont tell you.

Unfortunately, they've removed the book, and I haven't been able to find it lmao. But I'm definitely all about learning details, techniques, and fundamentals, and just other things I can practice to become a better chef, so I can excel.

@Justin Khanna Hey Justin, my name is also Justin and I have been a line cook/sous chef for 6 years. I just found your vids and I subscribed immediately. Your vids are super cool cuz i see many of the same tools I use, and the ones I don't have I really want now, (for example your beautiful nenox knives. I have a shun and a miyabi.) I recently took a new job in New York state, working at a restaurant where my best friend is the head chef. I was hesitant to take the job, thinking that we may butt heads in a professional type setting, especially because he is a chef that can be kind of an asshat sometimes. But I saw one of your videos where you said that you like to get to know the other chefs a little bit because it can help to make things in the kitchen run a little more smoothly during service, so I thought I would give it a shot because I already know my friend really well. Well it's been 4 months now and our kitchen runs like a well oiled machine because we anticipate each others moves and needs, and our timing has been pretty close to spot on. Thanks for all the vids man, cuz without your comments I prob. would have turned down the job offer, and now I'm as happy as I have ever been with my career. Oh, I also would love to see a video about the tools you use to plate and maybe show an example. This new job is at a fancier restaurant than I have previouly worked and I would love some recommendations on plating and what tools would be best and maybe show some neat plating techniques so I can impress the owner who is also a chef. Thanks, man. If you ever wanna give any of your nenox knives away, please keep me in mind, lol.

I've got a question about the ceramic honing steel. I think for my first honing steel, I'll pick up just an ordinary steel and use water stones with it. But from the studying I've done, ceramic takes off metal and slightly sharpens a knife. does this mean that the higher grit ceramic upgrade actually takes off less metal than the lower grit white model?
@baileyr583
7 жыл бұрын
Justin Khanna Oh certainly. I do plan on practicing on my old knife first, but I'm not afraid of losing lots of material or anything like that. I'll most likely be starting with a 1,000 and 6,000 grit just due to the fact that my current edge is still cutting cleanly through paper. from what I've read, stuff says the steels generally just push the edge forward to a point when it begins to bend, sort of like a gelled up Mohawk that begins to droop more as the day goes by, and honing is sort of just like pushing it back up and reapplying gel. I was just curious about the grit on the ceramic, since you mentioned that it had a higher grit, so I was wondering if that meant it took off less than the white ceramic in the same way that higher grit waterstones remove less. although the page for the black ceramic does mention that it's harder than the white ceramic in addition to having a higher grit.
@baileyr583
7 жыл бұрын
Justin Khanna Sure thing. c: I'm thinking I'm probably going to get the stone and an ordinary steel, and keep my current knives sharp enough until I can afford a better knife. Once I get something with a better steel, I might look into saving for a black honing ceramic then. I think that'll be the plan unless I find any reason to revise or reprioritize. I think I should most likely save for a good utility/petty knife.
