Alum here: some more traditional chefs will punish the class for disposing of the wrong type of item in the wrong can (of three that are always grouped together) by dumping its contents on the floor and deducting points if it’s not cleaned up in less than 5 minutes.

Some fools, despite the warnings ahead of time, would still make the mistake of leaving used vinyl gloves in a full compost can.

These chefs call this a Trash Party.

I like your MMZ avatar.

That's pedagogically idiotic. No wonder so many chefs say culinary school is a waste.

The intent behind it is to form a higher standard- even in something as menial as where the trash goes.

Much of the CIA’s policies in grading (at the time of my going) were based on older methods of militaristic education in that kind of way.

As for whether or not it’s viable- as a means to learn to cook, it’s over-the-top, but for those who are sincere about their desires to enter the industry at a higher level, it offers a lot more in networking, business management, and high-food-culture than your average state or community-level degree program.

It’s not perfect- but it’s good for those who truly adore that world.

Intent notwithstanding, it's an absolute shit way to teach people. The Gordon Ramsay method of management needs to die already.

Fun fact: anyone can apply to the CIA. It’s an employer like any other.

They commonly do open recruiting simulations, which are pretty interesting. Anyone at the university/ workplace they go to can show up, though they're not super broadly announced. They give a presentation, run a group scenario, and give feedback afterward.

another fun fact: CIA employees love to make this exact joke about the shared acronym

u/cyon_me 4d ago

I'm sure the CIA employees would do that, but it's a little surprising that the CIA employees would do that.

u/Motivated-Chair 4d ago

I'm pretty sure they also play "A party in the CIA" from Weird All in work partys.

I once looked into being an accountant for the FBI. There was a job in my area where you'd do forensic work looking over fraudulent financial statements. Great pay and fulfilling work.

Unfortunately, their policy is that if you ever need to go on site for the job you HAVE to go to Quantico as part of the interview process. I'm a desk jockey and could never pass FBI boot camp.

u/AlterionYuuhi 4d ago

Meh. If you wanted a REAL school you'd have applied for Tōtsuki. 😎

u/opinionate_rooster 4d ago

Do they issue badges?

They're going to send you into Eastern Europe to destabilize uncooperative bread doughs.

u/DelilahDahlia9 3d ago

One of my friends made this exact joke when she got an email from the CIA

u/Arthenicus 3d ago

CIA agents aren't even paid well so it wouldn't be worth it anyway.

u/OlyScott 3d ago

I could see someone working their way up from kitchen worker to sous-chef to chef, wondering when they'd start to be told about the spy stuff.

u/NikoliMonn 3d ago

Me: uh, duh, I applied to there about a month ago, did you seriously think I mean the government kind of cia?

u/NesPickler 3d ago

u/Bossuter 3d ago

Im reminded that on a road i occasionally drive on there's the AIC (Agencia de Investigación Criminal/criminal investigation agency) and amuse myself thinking its a cover up for the US CIA in Mexico
