Chefs and line cooks work doubles through every holiday weekend and clock out when the city is already asleep.
Why dating is hard for chefs
- •Holidays are double shifts, not dates
- •Your Sunday brunch is prep, not pancakes
- •Kitchens eat your energy by design
Why chefs are worth dating
- ✓Monday/Tuesday weekends are quiet and yours
- ✓You cook better than any date's expectations
