why is automation removing the joy and creativity of cooking instead of the dishes, which is what the person is left to do.
How much joy and creativity do think there was in these places before?
When I was a cook, even if I was just making something simple, I could still find creative satisfaction in a variety of ways. How you sprinkle on the garnish, plating, using a little more of this, a little less of that. Food to a chef is like art designed to be destroyed, so with the temporary nature of the medium, it really allows you to be creative. You’re not hung up on making it perfect, because it’s just about to be eaten, so it let’s you be more free with your design choices. It can be fun creating art while you’re supposed to be working.
but if my job was suddenly just washing up after a machine… well. That will get old real quick.
Automation should replace cooks, but in fast food restaurants instead of proper ones. They should free up people who work brain-dead jobs at Mcdonalds or KFC to let them work at other places, including other proper restaurants that don’t make fast food.
Lol yeah right. I’m sure the only thing stopping Brandon from working at a Michelin restaurant is his McDonald’s job off of I-95
So it’s better that he never even gets the opportunity to try to make it there? It’s better if he works at Mcdonalds until he’s 60?
