Being a chef is about a lot more than having a few dishes you're good at. Running a professional kitchen means learning the processes necessary to ensure consistent quality preparations, ensure sanitary conditions, manage the whole ingredient ordering process, manage a full staff of cooks and busboys, and often manage the finances of the restaurant. You've got to do a lot more than just cook a few good dishes. To make it in the restaurant business, you're going to have to learn to prep ingredients before you can start crafting menus. If you really love to cook, you should get some experience in a really professional restaurant environment or at a major hotel, and try to make a bid for culinary school.
