As a chef with 22 years of experience hiring cooks, there is absolutely a distinction. I would have said fast food worker instead of “cook” because the quotes make it feel condescending, but I also do not count experience in fast food as relevant experience when reviewing resumes for a line or prep cook position.

We’re also misusing the word chef a lot in this conversation. Everyone working the line in a kitchen is not a chef. They are cooks. The chefs are the kitchen leadership. There is typically one executive chef and one or two sous chefs below them. I’m simplifying things a bit but that’s the most common structure you’ll find in non-chain/corpo kitchens.

I do like that coat

Correct.

They pay cooks less than $20/hour in a city with an average rent of $3000/month. I’ve got no problem passing judgement.

There’s a public, digital record of one and a very slim chance (for most people) that anyone who would care is listening to the other.

My paranoid brain needs me to recommend that you edit out those cross streets.

Excellent

I find that even more infuriating.

They usually grip the knife incorrectly and then display a basic lack of knowledge regarding how to properly and safely use it.

Basically any time someone playing a chef or cook on TV picks up a knife I fly into a rage.

I spent 11 days in the hospital after a car accident. After I was released, my grandmother had to carry the book I was reading into different rooms for me for weeks.

Or a bank. Are banks ever actually open?

I often forget YouTube shorts are a thing because i zapped them away.

Better writing than 95% of movies that came out in the last 10 years.

You are getting bogged down in the details. The phrase is a slogan for the sentiment behind it. Sometimes it is more effective to capture the vibe behind something with an eight word phrase instead of writing an essay properly explaining it. We’re discussing a meme not a legal document.

Your argument sounds like someone saying that you should never use “All cops are bastards” because it is an absolute statement and it is statistically likely that there could be at least one cop somewhere in the world that isn’t a bastard and hasn’t yet been drummed out or given up and quit. Sure, a more accurate phrase is: “The overwhelming majority of police officers are bastards and even the very few among them that are actively making an effort to be beneficial to society are still propping up and participating in an oppressive and highly problematic system” but you can’t exactly print that on a coffee mug, can you?

My religion is eating pork.

No idea if this is how the slang came about but I’ll be confidently telling people this for the rest of my days.

The jackets inflate when they feel threatened.

There’s a firefox extension that upgrades the twitch player and blocks ads. Can’t remember the name but it was easy to find when I searched for it.

More like Old Man Country these days.
