<p>Hi I was just curious if anyone could lay out the job scene in Durham for Duke students atm? specifically food service?</p>
<p>The only thing I love more than History is cooking, so I'd like to get a job as a waiter at a good local restaurant and work my way up to sous-chef.</p>
<p>Any input/help is appreciated!</p>
<p>settle down.</p>
<p>You should take a look at this article about a grad student, Matt Novak, in biomedical engineering at Duke. Check the Duke Directory on line - might have his email address.</p>

<p>Because by night, he’s worked as a cook at local Durham restaurants, including a recent part-timer stint at Four Square, the chic Chapel Hill Road establishment that’s been part of the Bull City’s gourmet mainstream for some time now, something that gives cred to his online profile mention of being “the department’s foodie in residence.”</p>

<p>Instead of using my limited vacation time as a full time graduate engineering student/lab stooge for a traditional bath in the lap of luxury at some exotic locale like the Jersey Shore or Daytona Beach, I decided to up and buy a ticket to Chicago to cook in the kitchen of Grant Achatz at Alinea, a restaurant that is considered by many to be the best in the United States. So I packed up my knives and thrust myself full speed into a city I have never visited, to sleep on a couch of a person I do not know, to cook in one of the most exacting, precise and finessed kitchens in the world.</p>
