If you're not the one cooking, stay out of the way and compliment the chef.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.
Get to know the Chef and you will start to enjoy dining out even more.
I'll basically eat anything that a chef puts in front of me. One of the reasons is respect for the chef. I watch chefs eat at other chefs' restaurants, and they're very aware not to leave anything over because the chef is watching very closely. It's a very sincere interaction when two chefs are cooking for one another.
I'm not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it.
I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.
I'm not on chef level, but I'd make a good line cook. That's not too shabby.
It's very important to me that people who are actual chefs and other professionals in the culinary world, understand that I'm not, and have never held myself out as being, like a CIA trained chef.
I'm a normal guy. I'm not a chef.
If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.
Don't put too many chefs to work. Sometimes they get too involved in the ingredients and are of no help.
