OT: Would like to become a sushi chef

[sharkE]

I remember some time ago seeing someone on here that works as a sushi chef but i cant see to remember who :rolleyes: in any case, as stated, Im interested in learning the fine art and hopefully landing a job as an actual chef. I am considering applying at a few restaurants in my area (laguna/dana point) but im not sure i would really stand a chance in this economy trying to land a job with zero experience.

Is there perhaps a school i can look into and gain some knowledge in the field that might give me a edge in landing a position? Or am i pretty much stuck in turning over application after application keeping my fingers crossed hoping to yield results?


thanks for any advise

there is a place up by me that I think is called the california sushi acadamy.

i was a sushi chef 10 yrs ago, while i got my career started. i got a job at a restaurant and worked my way after 2 years. many traditional japanese places will require you to begin lower on the ladder and work your way up (prove yourself). anyway good luck! it was tons of fun, and miss it at times, but its made me a better chef.

I've always wanted to do that...mostly because I like to eat it!

oh its a lot of fun. good thing is when i host parties i roll all sorts of fish and sashimi which are always a hit! suggest you guys go for it, definitely well worth it.
