I'm beginning to buy my knives, and wanted reccomendations
as to brands. Also, my funds are limited, so I won't be able to buy
the full set of Henckles or Wusthof right away...would it be better
to buy a complete set of a less expensive brand and upgrade later, or
to buy a piece at a time of the better knives, and have an incomplete
set for a while?
Also, is $8.00/hour a bit low for a line cook in a good hotel,
with three years experience? I was thinking $10-12, but really have
know idea what to expect in this country. As a kitchen manager in
Prague, I was making about twice the national average monthly salary,
but with no benefits.
(I would have to have my knives, too)
