Chef stories

The best way to know if this job is for you is to hear it from someone already doing it. No scripts, just what the week actually looks like.

"Being home every day before 6 o'clock, Monday to Thursday, maybe a Friday morning shift, and after that home for the weekend. I get so much more time to watch my son grow up, coach his teams, and be there at his games."

"Farmers markets used to be a dream of mine, now it's my Sunday routine. I joined a run team and a rugby team. The structure this company has makes it easy to do what chefs do best. Cook!"

"I love the independence of managing myself and making food that's mine. I'm not in some windowless kitchen dungeon pumping out plates for mystery diners, I'm actively involved in bettering their lives."

"In the two years I've been with Tiny Spoon, I've missed 100% less birthdays and get-togethers. I've been present for the people I love, gotten married, and started a family of my own."
