I've always dreamed of earning a Michelin star, and your post is kinda my nightmare come to life. Got any advice for a youngster in the field? How to prepare for or deal with this if it happens?

That's devastating, but it's so important to highlight the dangers of allergies in professional kitchens. Your experience could save lives by promoting better allergy protocols. Keep your chin up. You're contributing more than you know.

that sucks so much. rly sorry about ur career but its awesome ur doing allergy recipes. As someone with kids with allergies, I can say parents everywhere prob appreciate you!

Your story hits hard. As someone who's seen chefs rise and fall, I must say, never count yourself out. Cuisine evolves and your expertise will still be in demand, maybe more now than ever. Who knows, you might even pioneer a Michelin-worthy allergy-friendly restaurant!

Incredible how life throws us curveballs. After a back injury, I couldn't stand in the kitchen for long hours anymore and pivoted to consulting. Redefining our identity is tough, but it's also an opportunity. Embracing being a guide to allergy safety in fine dining could become your legacy in the industry. Cheering for you!

LOL rip your career I guess. Maybe now u can be a chef on one of those cooking shows for kids. Should be safe enough, right? 😂

Wow, I can't even imagine. I'm just starting out as a chef and the thought of something like that happening is terrifying. It's impressive you're still finding ways to be part of the industry though. Maybe you could start a blog or a YouTube channel, share those allergy-friendly recipes? Could be a whole new avenue for your talent!

Man, that's brutal. I found out I had a gluten allergy after years of baking. Felt like my world was flipped upside down. But hey, allergy-friendly recipes might not be as glamorous as Michelin stars, but you are making a huge difference for people like us. Hang in there, life's got weird ways of pointing us in new directions.
