/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.10146165]

Got accepted into the Disney College Program to work the Food and Wine festival in Epcot this August.

Needless to say I'm scared shitless. Anyone here have experience in their culinary program that can give some tips?

not me personally, but one of my friends from way back did this after a few years of experience working in a regular kitchen while doing through some shitty culinary program at a local university. There was mention that it was basically just like any regular kitchen, but because it's ~disney~, some of the people there can have a bit of a bigger ego than normal

>scared shitless

do drugs to ease the stress/cope like 70%+ of cooks do

[Anonymous No.10146223]

>>10146212
That was my original plan, but I can't imagine it's super easy to find drugs in Disney World

This is reassuring. I was worried I would get there and everything would be different because disney

It really is kinda sad thats how it is. I was bartending, and All three of the head chefs in the restaurant I worked under had drinking problems, but they managed it and didn't fuck up too badly, besides fucking up orders when they were leaning into the sauce and yelling at the maitr'd.

On the other hand of the sous chef got hit with a DUI and destroyed his car at 3PM in the afternoon, he was going to his car during breaks and was drinking rumplemintz all day. He managed to go full stop and hit up AA. Another one got hit with his third DUI and wasn't able to get to work anymore so he left to go work in a bar.

The goal of probably half the people I went to culinary school with was to get a job cooking at a Disney location.

[Anonymous No.10146370]

Disney food is all trash without exception.

Congrats. You'll be making shitty food loaded to the brim with fat, salt and sugar for morbidly obese retarded flyover tourists. LIVING THE DREAM

Idk, some of the white flyover wenches can be hot and borderline nympho, so there's that benefit for a one nighter.

Sounds like a memey scam.
Meaning even more than normal culinary school if that's even possible.

[Anonymous No.10148590]

>Memey scam
Employers love that shit. Having the Disney program on your resume is a guerenteed job anywhere you apply.

Even if it's a "scam" (it's not), worst case scenario is you leave with a fat check and experience.

I just finished my program a few months ago OP. I wasn't culinary but I can let you in on a few things
Firstly, bring a car. The buses they provide are absolute dogshit. If you can't bring a car, find roommates beforehand that have cars.
Second, save money now. With all the discounts they provide you with down there, its easy to blow a lot of money very quickly because you just think, "Its fine, its 40% off".
Third, you better hope and pray you get good roommates. Youre going to be surrounded by an entirely different breed of normies than what you may be used to. Working at Disney is almost a cult-like environment. Although, some of the workers are VERY burned out and will try their hardest to make the interns miserable and hate their lives just because they're 60 years old and have been working in a dead end minimum wage job for 30 years.
Lastly, take advantage of the free park admission. I tried to go almost every day off I had, and I still felt like I didn't use it enough. Seriously, even if you don't want to ride or watch anything, just go to the parks for a walk or to get some food.
And just pray they put you in a resort and not the parks

[Anonymous No.10148897]

>Pray they don't put you in the parks
Why is that? I was looking forward to working in a park.

If I'm a culinary II worker they won't have me interact with guests, right?

[Anonymous No.10148914]

>>10148897
It's way more of a workload to work in the parks, regardless of position. The resort cast members have it made.

Are there an food related movies with no romance in them?

Is this a respected institution? It's got cartoons on it.

food is sex anon. trying to separate food and love destroys the whole notion of food itself. theres a reason cooking, for me at least, is one of the most sensual thing you can do for your partner.

Dude. You're going to be near Orlando, FL, an international city and massive drug hub. Seriously, just ask around and you'll find what you're looking for. Avoid the hard shit though (H, meth) and take it easy on the stimulants and you'll be alright

This. Even the costumed cast members only get paid minimum wage but they are willing to put on those smelly clothes because it's Disney.
