Cooking for everyone’s delight is a stressful job and it gets more tense when you are the head chef and in control of the entire kitchen. Head chefs work 12 hours a day and have to get up early in the morning to check if all the food supplies have arrived fresh. Not to mention, they also work on weekends and holidays missing out on family time.

One of the keys in the kitchen is timing; an anxious customer can only wait a few minutes for his food to show up on his table. More so, every entrée and platter that is about to be served to the erratic customer has to taste impeccable and has to make sure the reputation of the restaurant does not get tainted.

Failing to deliver high quality food in the allotted time is nerve-wracking for chefs. Hence, a day in the life of a chef is important and stressful up until they leave the kitchen to get ready for another enthralling day.
