So you love to cook—maybe even enough to consider a career in the restaurant business? In this excellent “career-day” video, professional chefs, culinary school instructors, and a restaurant owner offer an insider's view of the food industry, as skillful editing blends casual walk-and-talk tours of a restaurant with candid interviews and great behind-the-scenes footage to present a fact-filled overview of what it's like to be a chef/restaurateur. Viewers will learn about getting started in the business, day-to-day responsibilities, the best and worst aspects of the job, education and experience requirements, and expected salary ranges. A sure-to-be-popular title from Learning Zone Express' “Confessions” series (which also includes Confessions of a Fashion Designer and Confessions of an Interior Designer), this is highly recommended.
