Episode 22: Why Are Chefs So ANGRY?!

February 08, 2024 • Paul Silva • Season 1 • Episode 22

You know the tired trope - the fired up chef, tossing pots and pans everywhere, screaming at people, barking orders, having a mini-meltdown as everyone murmurs "yes chef", "no chef" under their breath.

TV shows, movies, and books all glorify the Angry Chef, or at least poke fun at them. It's something that is very real, though, and anyone who has worked in the hospitality industry has either worked for one, or know someone who has.

But that begs the question - WHY ARE THEY SO ANGRY? It's a good question, and one that I tackle on this episode.

I share what would set ME off back in the day, and common reasons for why chefs may get unhinged. Of course, it's not acceptable, and things are changing - and I share reasons why the industry is turning away from the boring pissy chef.

I also share ways that YOU can calm yourself down when you feel like you're about to burst at the seams with anger. These are things I did while on the line (and now in my office and out and about!) that truly WORK.

And you know I mean business when I wear MY whites on the show! First time ever.
