Many people inspired me to become a chef based off of food network shows I’ve watched over the years and continue to watch till this day. There are many names to name but I will only name a few of those people. One chef in particular I received my inspiration from to become a chef is Bobby Flay. Bobby inspires me every day with his work ethic that he shows as a chef to create dishes in his many busy restaurant’s that he has across the globe. I already had a great work ethic but Bobby improved more for me so I can become a better person and a better chef with the hard work it takes to run a business. He also shows ways in cooking everyday things in many unique ways that other chefs cannot do. That showed me that no matter what everyone else
Bobby Flay was born on December 10th, 1964 in New York. At age 8, he asked for an Easy-Bake Oven even though his father objected the idea. Bobby was a High School dropout and worked at a pizza parlor. Later on, he took a position making salads at Jo Allen Restaurant in Manhattan's Theater District, where his father was a partner.. The proprietor, Joe Allen, was impressed by Flay's natural ability and agreed to pay his partner's son's tuition at the French Culinary Institute. As he gained more experience, he liked the thought of going to the French Culinary Institute.
The person that inspires me is my teachers, I'm inspired by many of my 6th grade teachers like my math teacher, my science teacher, etc. My parents and my teachers help me so much through my problems, and such good rule models. Hopefully, I can be like them when I grow up, so I can be an inspiration to someone else one day.
Anthony Bourdain, world renowned chef and television personality, in his autobiography Kitchen Confidential (2000), conveys his experiences working in the restaurant business-high tension and new stressors at just about every corner. More specifically in the chapter “Food is Pain,” he convinces his audience that the abilities to maintain concentration, handle stress, and keep pace with the quick movement of a high-pressure environment are extremely important. Bourdain shapes this through an anecdote of his past experience working under boiler man (Tyrone) at the Dreadnaught, with his development of ethos, use of imagery, and manipulation of syntax to not only draw in but appeal to a wider audience.
One of the chefs I identify is chef Francisco. He owns the restaurant La Cocina de Gabby. One of the struggles he had to go to was trying to provide for his family. And the one thing that stood out was when he was trying to fight for his house. And he said “ I will fight for my house and if they try to take it, I will keep fighting.” the reason I pick him was because struggles. Some of his struggles are hard to accomplish. But the one thing he does is he keeps trying. But everyone has a struggle. Some are hard to accomplish and some are easy. One of my struggles was when I was little, but I still find it a struggle to this day. The struggle was about my family. Mostly about my parents. And I know some people have bigger struggles, but this struggle in particular made me love cooking.
Ever since I was little, I enjoyed being in the kitchen with my mom, dad and other family members. As long as I can remember, I was always there, trying to help out in whatever I could and what my family members would let me. When I was eight, I baked my first batch of chocolate chip cookies and ever since then I developed a passion and dedication for baking that has helped to teach many

All things changed my sophomore year with the decision to take culinary. I had finally found my niche in high school. Here I met the infamous Chef Rick! Chef is definitely not like any other teacher, he has no filter, which surprising is probably the reason that he is one of the best teachers at Sickles. He is real and up front and will make you become a hard worker. Culinary has taught me more about life than any other class I’ve taken. “Never be
I hated my parents for what they did to me and my brother. They were alcoholics that's why we got taken away. They gave us away like we meant nothing to them And like alcohol was better than we were. That's when i knew i had to be mature,and grow up and look after Liam. We been in foster care for 2 years. We hated it. If we ask to change they would put me(Emma) in a all girls foster home and Liam in a all boy foster home. I Couldn’t leave him by himself. So we had to suck it up and deal with it.
Everyone has encountered an individual in their life that that has greatly influenced them to be the person they are today. Some will find it is through direct family members, friends, or a public figure. In my own life, that individual is musician and poet Alex Turner. He has influenced me in a number of ways including; inspiring me to take writing seriously, introducing me to new literature, and teaching me the art of thinking before speaking.
Randy Pausch was determined to finish his last lecture for his kids. He was determined to leave a little bit of himself for his children, so they could see what type of person he was and so they would learn the lessons he would have thought them throughout their lives. With his determination, Pausch was able to get many of his childhood dreams and more accomplished. He lived his life to the fullest and I would bet that if he hadn’t done so, we wouldn’t have had the honor and opportunity to learn about his life. I can relate to his determination, but only on a small scare. I have a passion for cooking and I am determined to follow that passion by any means possible. I have made changes to my life and education to support that life, but there have been some situations in my life that I’ve had to learn to adapt and deal with, to continue my dream. You could say I had to be resilient.
One person I personally know that inspires me a lot is my father. My father has always been very involved in my life and had a very positive impact on who I have become. He came to the United States when he was eleven years old with nothing. The English language was foreign to him and everything was being risked. The comfort of being in a place you have been all your life and having friends and family surrounding you was gone. Yet his parents knew this was what was best for him, so they brought him over. Things were not easy for my father and some of my family members either. They all lived crammed up in a one bedroom apartment. However, they were not discouraged. My father fought and fought for what he wanted to achieve. I admire him greatly because of how hard working he is. Everything he has accomplished today was thanks to his amazing work ethic. This is what really makes me want to be like him. If I am able to strive and fight like he did, especially with my studies, I have faith I will achieve all I want.
Through these programs I have been able to work with the chefs and I love how they are more than willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we are able to widely succeed in the culinary industry, they are also very honest with you and tell you all of the good and the bad about the industry. Through my high school Culinary teacher, Brandi Eades who attended Jefferson State Community College's Culinary program- and loved it!- I was able to learn about and participate in all of the wonderful programs that they have to offer for high school students. I was also able to compete in the Prostart competition on a small team consisting of me and another student where we placed sixth for the state, and all throughout the day chefs that I have worked with wished me good luck and asked me how did we do and they continuously go above and beyond to help with whatever I
Culinary art is a momentous part of my life.When I was around the age of nine I was living with both my mom and dad. I was always in the kitchen helping my mom cook dinner. I made baked ziti, empanadas, sweet potato pie, and other foods.When I was in high school, I lived with my father,and after my older siblings grew up it was just me and my little sister so I was responsible for cooking the meals. I was cooking for my family an average of seven days a week and I was never tired or bored, I enjoyed it. I developed a strong passion for culinary arts. I am passionate about it because it excites me, inspires me, and encourages me to open a restaurant.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking. When I was a little girl I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me. It’s the “art form” I pride myself at being good at and I don’t have to try (unlike drawing…not so good at that!). Like a child getting a new toy, I get excited when I discover new foods and ingredients. My mind feels “at home” when it’s in the process of creating in the kitchen. It’s fun getting the ingredients, piling them all on the counter, then chopping, stirring, adding a pinch of this and a splash of that. Then I have to wait for everything to cook. Finally the reward of my creativity is taken out of the oven and placed on a plate. The creative work I’ve done is fully realized when I can share my work with others.
