Trainee story

As a kid, Daygoro first remembers wanting to learn how to cook as a way to help his dad. As he grew up, cooking became a fun pastime for him, and he even considered becoming a chef. This eventually led him to intern with Sprouts Chef Training at Left Bank Brasserie under mentor Chef Larry Finn.During his internship, Daygoro worked at a variety of stations in the kitchen. In the back, he mainly handled prepwork like cutting vegetables, preparing burger patties, pureeing squash, and making French onion soup. While working on the front line, Daygoro got to help with cooking pork sliders and truffle fries, and preparing mussels for cooking. While calling dishes to be sent out, Daygoro also gained the valuable skill of speaking up and making his voice heard. Daygoro was especially pleased with his improvement in knife skills because he gained confidence in having the correct knife grip and efficiently cutting vegetables. He also appreciated how friendly the cooking staff at Left Bank Brasserie were, with Chef Larry, Chef Mikey, Chef Sebastian, and Chef Marquis all demonstrating helpful cooking skills at different times. Daygoro has an open mind about his future, with possibilities including everything from culinary school to joining a welder's union. In addition to being eager to learn, he also has strengths in being able to see an issue from multiple perspectives, which is sure to help him on his career path. When Daygoro is not cooking, he enjoys playing football with his friends. He also draws graffiti-style lettering on blank canvases to decorate his room and has done similar art for his three younger sisters, Holly, Aziza, and Kadar. Whatever he pursues, we know that Daygoro's creativity, attention to detail, and empathetic outlook will take him far!
