Chefs Are Socialized Through Culinary School

140 Words1 Page

Kitchen actors do not follow normal societal action guidelines. Bosses are allowed to openly call their worker names while workers are expected to continue working even when their physical health are compromised. As a result, aspiring chefs have to learn how to act specifically in kitchens, or in other words, engage in secondary socialization to learn the kitchen rules. Chefs are socialized through different institutions; some are socialized through culinary school while others are socialized through restaurants. This paper will focus exclusively on how chefs are socialized through culinary school. In Jonathan Dixon’s Beaten, Seared, and Sauced
: On Becoming A Chef at the Culinary Institute of America, Dixon shows that individuals are socialized

    In “Learning to Serve: The Language and Literacy of Food Service Workers”, Tony Mirabelli presents the genre of communication used by waiters and waitresses as one which requires more skill than is usually assumed. Through the use of internet sources such as “hate mail” directed at websites, Mirabelli shows us that people who think the job of a food service worker is easy are quite common. He shows us the assumptions people tend to make through many examples such as economists who suggest that food service workers lack education needed to be considered “knowledge workers” and do mindless, routine tasks that anyone can do. Through examples of food service workers, including himself, Mirabelli contends that waiters, though in some cases uneducated,

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Serving In Florida By Barbara Ehrenreich

    1012 Words  | 5 Pages

    Ehrenreich mentions “The regulation poster in the single unisex rest room admonishes us to wash our hands thoroughly,” in her essay; However, there is almost no one following the instruction because “there is always some vital substance missing—soap, paper towels, toilet paper”. Although workers may want to follow the instructions, it is impossible for them to do so because they “never found all three at once ”. The effect of describing the deficient rest room is to highlight the fact that the owner of the restaurant is so stingy to the workers that the owner refuses to provide enough substance. Thus, the readers can better understand the terrible environment that the workers live in. In short, with mention the dreadful environment of the kitchen and the rest room, the audiences are able to know that lower workers work in a grubby environment and how they have been treated by the upper class.

All things considered, the quality of food and eating manners to a large extent determine the style and the quality of life, while the stereotypes and the unconscious habits create the so-called 'big picture' of the situation in London.
