How does one become a line cook? How long does it take?
Answers:
Well depends upon where you wish to work. If you apply with a national chain restaurant such as Chili's, Applebee's, Olive Garden ect. you can probalbly get hired to work on the line, as they has good training programs in place to train you for each position. Of your wanting real line cook experience in say an upscale restaurant..then it could take a little bit longer. You generally start, depending upon previous experience as prep cook, baker assistant, salad person, or kitchen utlilty person first. As you master those area's and cross train into other area's you can move up and make it to line cook. Good luck..
