What kind of restaurants do any of you want to take to start your cooking career?
I had started my cooking career at SBH where I made salmon with pineapple for the first time and then when my cooking career was over in August 2022 I started a cooking career in my high school in September.

I suggest you kick-start your journey in a place where the cuisine makes your heart sing, perhaps a restaurant you've visited and enjoyed before, or even one that's always been on your wish list.
Embarking on a career in a restaurant kitchen is no piece of cake. It's a role that tests you both physically and mentally. However, having a passion for the food, admiration for the Chef, or a soft spot for the place itself can fuel your drive, helping you to persist, grow, and acquire new skills.

2. The Wee Chippy - Originating from a small beachside store in California, Scottish-born Joe Gorrie gained a devoted fanbase with his unique take on fries. Now, he's looking to expand through franchising.
3. Firehouse Subs - This popular sub chain has opened its first location outside North America, in Zurich. Additionally, they have a development agreement in Mexico, marking the brand's first significant ventures into international markets under Restaurant Brands International.
