After reading what junior kitchen staffers go through/what they are paid, it doesn't surprise me.
Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential is all I needed to see to keep me from ever wanting to open even a breakfast/lunch cafe/bakery.
I know people who graduated from big-name cooking schools who are working for 10 bucks an hour as prep-cooks. They can't pay the loans they took out to GO to the big-name school!
