It’s funny when you realize that you miss things that are not even necessarily positive in your life.
Cooking is not only about developing a dish on a creative and artistic environment with the right amount of time (and resources) to work on it. Cooking is not only about those days when everything seems to work out and food is coming out delicious and hot and beautiful.  I even dare to say that those moments of total control are fewer than those other moments when things are going south. Those days when your dishwasher calls out, when your fish guy fucked up and sent you a fish that is not absolutely beautiful and fresh. Those days when you are tired and you just can’t anymore, but you know there is no other direction than forward so you need to keep going. Those days when you get cut. Those days when you get burned and keep cooking and feel the heat burning you even more. Those days when the 10th try on a new dish wasn’t good again and you know it might take you 10 more  tries until the dish is ready to be on the menu. Those days when you even question yourself if you are having a good time in the kitchen anymore.
Well I also miss those days!! I miss  those days when the dishwasher calls out, and the whole Restaurant (kitchen + Service)works as a team to get through service. I miss getting hurt in the kitchen and keep working because what is in front of me is more important than my pain. I miss that beautiful feeling of emptiness when that 10th try on a dish is not EXACTLY the way I want it and I just can’t put it on the menu, and I need to try one more time (or 10 , or 20) because if is not perfect it just can’t go on the menu.  I miss feeling constantly tired, and I miss pushing myself to a point that maybe I shouldn’t but it is the way to achieve great things: you don’t stop when you are tired, you don’t stop when you are hurt.
I always consider myself an extremely lucky person since I know what I love to do and I get to make a living out of it. I find fascinating that I even miss the negative aspects of what I do.(text continues on the comments below) #quarantine #coronavirus #cheflife #brickell #finedining #whatscoming #foodporn #foodie #chef
