If not,
1: I'd assume you would know how to spell restaurant
2: I'd LOVE to know where you studied to reach the qualification of chef, let alone the title of sous chef by the age of 15, at a 5-star establishment no less.
Either you were in an apprenticeship at the age of 11, or your chosen college had almost impossibly low age of admission for a F/T course of this calibur...I know I started late, but I KNOW that you don't start THAT early.

Unless of course you got the gig through family, I have to assume that at most, they just CALL you the sous chef, eh? I hate innapropriate titling, it's kind of an insult. I mean, do you even know what sous chef means?

If by small chance I'm being a complete prick, and somehow you HAVE realistically attained your title through hard work and you do indeed hold an actual qualification as such, you have my apoligies, and my congratulations...It just seems a little far fetched to me.

You are really underestimating me here cheeba, yes I do have the job through family. But they wouldnt put me in the position im in if I wasnt good enough for it.

Thier are many employees that work with me that are much better than me. Im just on a high level mainly because of my family.

As the sous chef of the restaurant my main job is to just help out on the line and get stuff out the window. But I have other responsibilities too. I have to take inventory every night. Other than that my job is not that much different than the Executive Chefs or even the line cooks.

as for your comment of studying for the job....

Cooking has been in my family my entire life. I grew up with it. When I was 12 my parents started sending me to a private tech school that I go to for nothing other than Culinary Arts. Ive been doing this program for 5 yrs now.

Does that awnser your questions?

I don't think I underestimated you at all...ESPECIALLY if you got the job through family...I mean, of COURSE they're going to say you're good enough for it, the family IS the easy way to float into a job...I mean really, anyone can learn to cook a set menu...and I still think it's weird that you don't know how to spell restaurant.

Yeah it is. You didn't mention that you contacted suppliers, ordered/recieved/requisitioned stock, evaluated menu/sales outcomes, hired staff, designated allocations, planned menus...among other things that an executive chef does, so I'd assume that what you're doing is quite a bit different from an executive chef, if you really look at all that's involved.

- Been a sous chef in a 5 star restraunte since I was 15
So you were a sous chef three years into your training then?
I mean...the standard course setups are either
A: Full-Time over 18 months (but that's not you, that's me)
B: P/t apprenticeship over 4 years (so, why 5?)
You aren't a chef until your studies are COMPLETE, Any kind of chef, let alone second in charge, I'm just seeing inconsistancies in your story here....the title thing, that just bothers me, I mean, I'd hope that your fellow chefs (assuming there IS any, being a "5-star" restaurant and all, I'd imagine it's more than just 2 of you) wouldn't completely hate you, after all, the sous chef is on a higher pay rate than your standard chefs...I mean, I can't say I'd like it if somebody without proper qualification got a title, and pay rate that was innapropriate, in fact, I'm surprised you don't have people quitting left right and centre.
Now, I'm not doubting your cooking ability at all...especially if you've grown up in the culinary background. Some of the best cooks I've ever known have no formal training...however, they're cooks. A chef is a title not easily earned, and I myself would never allow anybody to refer to me as ANY kind of chef in a working capacity until I knew I'd undertaken all the required studies, testing, and hours of experience.
I think you're lucky, but it doesn't sit right with me, all the same.

So hey, while we're here...what courses of study did/are you undertaking?
