Although the stats inform us being a Chef is incredibly stressful and rampant with drug abuse. Gordon Ramsey did a piece on the subject not lone ago.
Findings from trade union Unite show that 69 percent of chefs say their stressful work life has had an impact on their mental and physical wellbeing.
I can well imagine operating high end restaurants in Dubai would be very demanding.Findings from trade union Unite show that 69 percent of chefs say their stressful work life has had an impact on their mental and physical wellbeing.
But no matter how stressful your office job may feel, it will likely pale in comparison to that of an overworked chef. A busy line cook will work long, late-night shifts over a steaming stove in a confined space, navigating knives, hot plates, and the endless demands of a frazzled front-of-house team.
Unsurprisingly, such intense working conditions will take their toll. A new survey, carried out by trade union Unite and sent to 265 union members in London, has found that chefs' long working hours are impacting their physical and mental health.

It's what he would have wanted.
RIP G Rhodes.
qhHe had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I believe he's been 'terminally ill' for about 5 years. I almost met him once, many years ago near the old Arsenal stadium. I said hello, and he ignored me. On reflection, I suspect he made the right call on that one...Originally posted by ladymuck View PostWinter chill getting in earlyHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
