Well, color me surprised, because I had no idea about this!

A chef who used to work at The Cheesecake Factory posted a video on TikTok and talked about why he thinks working at the chain restaurant is great training for cooks.

The TikTokker explained, “I worked for The Cheesecake Factory for about six years as a lead cook trainer.”

He said, “My job was to go around to different states and cities to train up new cooks so they could take over when the restaurant actually opened.”

The chef said that the restaurants have HUGE menus with between 110 and 130 different dishes and there are 140 sauces to make, as well.

He said, “When I say everything’s fresh, I really do mean that. There are no sauces pre-made, nothing is pre-cut, everything is handmade in-house.”

The TikTokker added, “If you’re a cook looking to start out your career in a chain restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory is actually one of the top places I would recommend.”

Here’s the video.
