Any cooks/chefs lurking?

Yo! I’m a sous chef at a regionally famous restaurant here in Birmingham, AL and seriously considering a move to NOLA. For some personal background I’m 34/M and have been in fine dining for 14 years. My skills and resume speak for themselves so finding a job won’t be an issue. My main question is are chefs able to live a decent/comfortable life on their salaries in New Orleans? I’m single, no kids, fine with a studio apartment. I like to live in the middle of things and be able to walk or bike to work. I’ve been coming to New Orleans to see music for years but trying to get some info from others like me.

FWIW, I’m really talking specifically to chefs/cooks in private-owned, fine dining spots.

Other service industry folks are welcome to reply with their personal experiences, so bartenders and servers what up?

So you worked at a Frank Stitt or Chris Hastings place, right?

I'm from Birmingham, live in Mobile and NOLA. Birmingham punches above its weight in the food scene. New Orleans is a ridiculously good food scene.

My comment is to come here and see the big scene.

Send me a DM. Our Nola place is in the Quarter.
