Stages Abroad is NOT for everyone. (And we keep it that way on purpose.) After our recent post about the opening at Disfrutar, my inbox exploded with messages. While it's great to see so much enthusiasm, I spent a lot of time this week saying "No." Here is the truth: Our program is not for everyone. We don't sell culinary holidays. We don't promise smooth 9-to-5 shifts. We place ambitious chefs into some of the most intense and demanding Michelin-star kitchens on the planet. If a candidate is looking for: ❌ A relaxed, easygoing experience ❌ Quick shortcuts without putting in the repetition ❌ A guarantee that things won't get tough ...then Stages Abroad is definitely the wrong fit. Who IS it for? Chefs who thrive under pressure. Professionals who want their craft tested, their limits expanded, and their reputation built alongside world-class standards. Our partner restaurants trust us because we only send candidates who are built for the heat. Spots are strictly limited, and the selection process is tough. We aren't looking for hundreds of applicants. We're looking for the right ones. Are you ready to step up, or stay where it’s comfortable? 👇 If you think you have what it takes, send me a DM or visit www.stagesabroad.com
