COOL JOBS

                One of my top lists of the cool jobs is a chef. Why a chef? With you being a chef, it allows you to have the ability to explore the wide choices of food and beverage. From the usual raw groceries, they have the talent to transform it into such an eye-catching and appetite-magnetizing cooking. On top of that, the best enjoyment that we will have as a chef is when seeing a customer’s satisfaction while eating the dishes made by us.

                The best chef in today’s world is Gordon Ramsey, a Scottish chef and a restaurateur. He has been awarded a total of 12 Michelin Stars –annual awards that honored to chefs that have outstanding quality. He also became one of only three chefs in the United Kingdom to hold three Michelin stars at one time. He has French style of cooking.

                He enrolled himself to North Oxfordshire Technical College, after the huge injuries he had in Rangers FC football academy banished his dream career as a football player. His first job was in Wroxton House Hotel, Scotland as a commissary chef in 1980. Then he travelled to London, and Paris to advance his extraordinary potential. As result, now he has 25 restaurants spread all over the world, such as Tokyo, Johanessburg, California, Dubai, Toronto, Prague and the rest.

                As a well-known chef, controversies made by media opposition and opponents in seeking rumors to overthrow the Gordon Ramsey’s economic empire is already became something to be aware of. There are 2 big rumors about Gordon Ramsey that could have put his career on stake. First is in 2008, when Ramsey is accused to have a secret affair with a female book author, Sarah Symonds. Lastly, the accusations of mass scam, he was blamed for the usage of pre-prepared food that was heated up and sold 568% over the normal price. All of these accusations are already part of the life as a well-known person, and Gordon Ramsey confidently and patiently settled these charges, and move on with his career.

                He is simply my role model. As a chef he keeps struggling to expand his empire and still explores new food. I would love to be a chef as famous and capable as him.
