You Sure You Want to be a Chef? Guest- Sam Walker- Gaskins on Emma
from Bien the Know · host John Engleman
In the October episode of the Bien the Know podcast, we address the question, “Are you sure you want to be a chef?” The Food Network, The Bear, along with a multitude of other shows and movies have romanticized the position and the industry, but what’s it really like? John and Chef Will talk with special return guest Sam Walker, executive chef of Gaskins on Emma to discuss and swap stories. Culinary school versus the school of Hard Knocks (and long hours), which is best, or should you do both? What about the climb to executive chef? What’s the hardest position in the kitchen? Nothing but war stories and advice from two local superstar chefs that have lived to show their scars and tell their stories here on this episode of Bien the Know! Sidenote- there's some explicit language in this one, so earmuff those kids!
