So i’ve worked at casual dining restaurants for a couple years, mostly FoH but I really dream of landing a spot in the fine dining industry or somewhere in the ballpark and being in the BoH.

I frequently cook and bake at home and try to expand my horizons but do you guys have any advice on how to work my way up? Like what kind of restaraunt should I be trying to work at first if my goal is to work in fine dining? I have a lot of work ethic and energy I just wanna put it somewhere that counts. I recently moved a few states and am kind of turning a new leaf and there’s a lot of pretty good restaurants around here

(edit) I’ve considered going into culinary school since I have the money for that. But quite a few people have said it’s not really necessary.

(Sorry if this question has been asked and answered already)

TL;DR .. I want to work in fine dining kitchen someday. Where should I start?
