I started at a Jimmy John's. I don't cook professionally, but if you check my blog, you'll find some recipes. I take cooking pretty seriously and have a lot of fun with it, so my expectations for a cook are only as high as mine are for myself.

If they do it as their job, then they should be matching me, a mere amateur. Anything less, especially when it comes to food safety, the skill of making the food, and the passion in serving it, just isn't good enough for me.

Otherwise I'd just do it myself.
