The life lessons these chef dads hope to instill in their children | via FnBReport
Anri IchimuraWhen the shift is over and the apron comes off, the country’s top chef dads trade their toque blanch for another hat—one that’s just as challenging, if not far more fulfilling. Being a father in an industry that can bring out the best and worst in people is a tough balancing act. The kitchen is a hard place to survive, but perhaps it’s the countless challenges that chef dads must overcome that have equipped them with wisdom to pass on to their kids.
So we asked six chef dads what they hope their children will learn from the lessons they’ve gained in and out of the kitchen, and this is what they had to say:“Nothing is easy in life and career. You should always have a dream of what you want to be in life. If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life, but never settle or lose focus. I also wish my two boys courage and the strength to persevere.
“Whatever you do in life, make sure you enjoy doing it and at the same time make other people happy. The main reason I cook is it gives me the opportunity to satisfy not just my patrons’ stomachs but my creative side as well, same with music and television.
“Thirdly, communication. For a kitchen to run smoothly like a well-oiled machine, good open communication is essential. This is important not only in your professional life but also in your personal life. Lastly, dealing with the stress and pressure of immediate deadlines. This is something that is quite unique to working in a kitchen. I have learned that keeping calm when the pressure mounts will be the best chance at success no matter what field she chooses.
“My prayer is for my kids to find their own north star. I hope that over the years, they witnessed the passion, discipline, honesty, and integrity that I put into my work. I hope they find the same joy and fulfillment in their life and career choices as I did as a chef.”
