The Start
“Na-reject ako ng isang sikat na school, kasi raw malayo yung course ko sa kinukuha kong mode of training” He said. And there, he remembered everything, when he was talking to me, Chef D said that he used his rejections and failures to create the fire of passion inside of him which became his dream and that is COOKING.
“Malakas kasi akong kumain nung bata pa ako, kakakain ko lang kakain na naman ako” In English, he said, how much he was loving the food, he finished a meal, and then there he went, searching for another one. As I knew him, he was not the typical person who loves to go to school, he even cut classes you know, but that not made him an irresponsible person.
He was the eldest among 5 siblings, and he was the one assigned to look after his sister and his brother when they went to Manila, he prepares everything inside their humble home, from the rice to the viand, to the bed and he even do the budgeting. He was young, but he had a lot on his shoulders.
His Career
Chef D started his career in a small call center in Rizal, in which he realized he is not for an office based career, so he said farewell and continued to explore his passion; left with no choice he tried his luck and applied in his favorite Filipino fast food chain, guess what, he stayed there for a number of months. After realizations, challenges and problems, he pursued his career with a firing passion in his heart.
Chef D did not finish his studies, that’s why he is considering that skills are far more than academics, and as he develop his adventure for passion and food, Meilleur en Vaisselle will be his way to show that love and passion are enough to reach your dreams and Culinary Arts is something that comes from his heart and his soul.
