I've been curious lately on the possibility of getting into the cooking profession. I've read a few of the past threads which discusses the harsh realities of the profession but I'm thinking it may suit my personality and what I want to get out of a job. Before making any sort of commitments to culinary school/program, I was thinking of some way to gain a taste for the industry without having to quit my day job.
I have a full-time job which pays the rent but I've been looking for weekend work to make some extra money. I've been thinking about approaching local restaurants to see if they could use me during the weekends. Has someone done something similar to this or would I just be kidding myself? I wouldn't mind peeling potatoes all night long, just something that would get me a feel for the industry.
Comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.
