prep work

Never seen a thread on it but to all the chefs,cooks and all what part of the whole process to bring the food/meal together that you enjoy the most. Over the years I come to the conclusion that the prep work is what I enjoy the most out of the whole process.

For me, it's the actual putting together of ingredients. The art of cooking the food. And of course, eating the result. I never liked the prepping aspect of cooking in the restaurant. A lot of repetition.

I'm fond of eating! By the time I get things prepped and cooked, I want nothing to do with it.

Now that is funny. Fond of eating.
No, even on the cart and now I hired people to cook. Don't get me wrong I can cook. But watch these people they get more enjoyment out of it than I do. Had a short-order cook on the cart would do the jig all day long cooking. He would actually get out from the cart and be doing the Two step with ladies. You put a spatula in his hand and he was in heaven. I have a Pizza Guy that you would not believe.
I have been involved with making food(sausages, Beer and wine) for years, now into cheese making. It is all prep. This is what I like.
I prep everything and talk to people, hand the Customer the finished product and interact with them. I love to make the sausages and cheeses and see what others can do with it. More than I can ever dream about.
 
If I had the time, I would learn the art of noodle making. Noodle makers arrive early and make noodles for the the Rest. No not here, Hong Kong.
