@@emboe001 sounds like she found something that suits her better. Can't say much about her as a restaurant employee, I love her as a content creator though.
I love the idea of "learn the techniques and science, and then riff off it". Theme-and-variations applied to cuisine - I generally call it "fun with food". And for the most part, even if things don't come out the way you wanted them to, it's still edible. (And as Sohla mentioned multiple times, you learn from your mistakes.)
I am a proud disciple of Sohla. Sohla has come up in my dream life and in my therapy. Crazy, I know. I love that she's writing to people who as kids didn't understand why adults told us we were too curious, even when we were appropriately curious. This is called correct pedagogy.
I agree with Sohla about being the only female in the kitchen. You are subjected to so much bullying boys club shenanigans. And then you're expected to be complicit in your own sexual harassment. It's exhausting, and traumatic!
@@grosebud4721 She was one of the whistleblowers who shed light on Condé Nast/Bon Appétit's discriminatory practices a few years ago, which led to a shallow restructuring, especially for the publication's RU-vid channel, and painted some of its fan-favorite hosts in less than favorable light. Some viewers, who cannot believe that these hosts, who they've formed positive parasocial relationships with, could possibly be culpable or complicit, still hold a grudge against Sohla because they believe she's personally responsible for the fallout (certainly not the fault of those enacting and enabling the behavior she -- and other colleagues -- were defending themselves against at the time).
