Nailed it. I have been trying to get back into working as a sushi chef. I kinda burned my bridges in San Diego. I have the reputation of being the drunken chef with a bad attitude. And I deserved that reputation. I was that guy. Well, I applied at a major Sushi joint and the dude who runs it and interviewed me was a former sushi chef I worked with a few years ago.
I thought I was doomed. I figured there was no way he was going to hire me. I just was honest with him and told him I am not the drunken chef I was before and to give me a chance. Chef and I got along fine when we worked together. He said ' when you were not drunk or hung over you were a good chef, I will give you another chance'.
I am stoked. Full time. Averaging 20-25 dollars an hour. Doing something not only do I enjoy but that I am good at.
Here are some pics of my work ..
