It's one thing to cook well for your family, and a completely different thing to routinely cook 30 orders in 60 minutes during a lunch rush. It gets very unglamorous very quickly.
I've often thought the same thing. I've known people in the food business and it just seems like a lot of work.
I think I'd do something like BBQ probably through some kind of catering situation.
Sure, but almost any profession has that going on. Programming is not excepted.
+1 for chef. I just love to cook, but it is definitely a manual job!
