I’m a line cook at an Italian restaurant in Chicago. I moved here a year ago from Alaska to pursue my dream of being a chef. In 6 months I gained the responsibility of making all the pasta for the restaurant, restocking on Mondays and Fridays and within 4 more months I learned how to bake sourdough. I occasionally pick up shifts on Fridays at another restaurant, primarily work brunch and work the pasta station on Tuesday nights. I’ve helped at events and volunteered in a kitchen dedicated to socializing seniors. I love what I do, and cooking is my passion. I love The Bear and it was an inspiration in taking the leap I was afraid to embark on my own. It would be a cherry on top of my whole journey just to be an extra, I really don’t know how else to reach out for it… sorry I’m not an actor but I did go to film school and have done acting for class projects.
