The Cult of Fine Dining: “Yes, Chef! No, Chef! On It, Chef!”

Fine dining is all about precision, artistry, and luxury on the plate—but behind those kitchen doors, the pressure, hierarchy, and chaos tell a very different story. This week, we sit down with Chef Amber Evans, who opens up about the unspoken rules of the industry, the reality of life inside a Michelin-starred kitchen, and the moment she realized she had become the very thing she once feared. Could it be that she had been in … a cult?  ________ Follow Chef Amber for mouth-watering content! @chefamberevans  Follow us for more culty content: @wasiinacult  Have you ever worked in a high-pressure, high-control environment that blurred the lines between passion and exploitation?
