Also, cooking as a job fucking sucks. Long hours, low pay, high pressure to get things done fast, and people generally seem to treat each other like shit. Why would you do that to yourself if you had different options?

To the extent of what I know of modern cooking, my country is an outlier. If you walk in a restaurant, there will be one or two dishes ready to serve and from that point forward you can order ร  la carte.

The first will get you served in a few minutes, the second you get to wait. And there is no point in complaining it's taking too long, as you'll get shown the door.

In all my life, the best restaurant I ever went to worked three nights a week, started serving by seven p.m. and closed the kitchen by nine. Last customer out the door by ten thirty, lights out by eleven thirty.

Small room, no menu. If you wanted a specific dish you could request in advance and pay as you'd make you reservation. They would serve around 40 people a night.

Best food and mood I ever had the opportunity and pleasure to enjoy.
