  • Quiz


  • Parental guidance suggested
    Say you’ll be a doctor or a lawyer, and the folks will kvell. But how about, “Mom, Dad, I want to cook!” In this TONY quiz, match the parental reaction to the chef.

    Illustrations by Jesse Philips
    1.“He came to me and said, ‘I want to be a chef.…’ I said, ‘I thought you wanted to be an astronaut, but okay.’ ”
    2.“I knew once he made up his mind to have his head in the oven all day that he would accomplish his mission.”
    3.“I allowed my children to do whatever they wanted to do—their father was a doctor, I am a doctor, but none of them wanted to be doctors.”
    4.“He maimed his right hand in an industrial accident in his first career. His first words [after the accident]: ‘Can I hold a knife?’ The fact that he had something that he could fall back on that he loved, it was just a blessing.”
    5.“I had mixed emotions, because we had cooks and servants in the house, and where we are from it’s not recognized as such an outstanding job.”
    6.“My wife and I don’t cook—we live in the land of takeout. While he didn’t learn cooking from us, we are happy he loves his job.”
    7.“He used to sleep in the office and on chairs when I had to finish up doing my job [at the restaurant] late at night. I always used to joke I’m an example of what not to be. I guess he didn’t listen.”
    8.“If he was a plumber like his old man, he would have been the boss by now, sitting back, relaxing and collecting union benefits.”
