Maybe this is better suited for the unpopular opinions thread, but I gotta say: I value a good prep cook way more than most other positions in a kitchen.
If your prep sucks, your service sucks. End of story. But if you have a good prep cook, even a mediocre line cook can put out decent food. A lot of kitchens treat their prep like the kitchen b$&ch, but I think they’re the unsung heroes.
I’ll take a competent prep cook over a rock star line cook any day of the week (or weekend).
