If you love cooking and you want to turn that into a career, you probably should look into going to a culinary school to get extra training. I am not saying you don’t have the skills but it’s not all about skills. Having a good degree and recommendations from an acredited culinary academy may do you good when it comes to getting a job at a restaurant. http://www.baychef.com/ Is a site for a California culinary Academy and one of the best in the country as well.

If you want to get a job at any restaurant as a chef, you can’t expect to go against someone that has experience at a school with a degree to prove it even if you have more skills and more recipes than the other other person. I know a lot about law and if it came to just knowledge and skills, then I could be one of the best laywers in the world, but I still have to go through graduate school to get the right degree. Just remember, you need experience along with those skills to become a great chef.
