My dad was a master butcher and I trained to be a butcher when I left school. I didn't enjoy it at the time but I love cooking now, so perhaps I would have been a chef.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always knew I wanted to be a chef.
As a child, I first wanted to be a cook because my mother was such a good cook.
My reasons for becoming a chef are somewhat of a cliche. I always loved to eat but it was watching my parents cook that really served as the impetus for my career choice.
I was good at math and science, and I got lots of degrees in lots of things, but in a parallel universe, I probably became a chef.
My dad was in the restaurant business, but I didn't really think about following him. Had I done better at school, I don't know if I would have been a chef.
I had no desire to be a chef, but I had a desire to be someone who was heard.
My grandfather was a great chef.
My dad, he was a construction worker. He was a butcher. He was a deep sea fisherman.
I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.
My father was a chef but hadn't owned his own business. I didn't like that. In my heart of hearts, I knew I wanted to be in business.
