Lol. Kitchen manager told me today that she wishes my heart was more into cooking professionaly than IT. 

I had to find a way to politely tell her that it's not that I'm not fully dedicated to cooking. I will never stop cooking and exploring new techniques and expanding my repertoire.

It's just that I don't necessarily want to cook professionally for somebody else. If I decided to go balls deep and dedicate the rest of my life to cooking. I would have to either work towards opening my own restaurant or a food cart or something. But slogging away in a restaurant where I have zero say on what goes on is not necessarily my idea of a fulfilling cooking career.

And unfortunately doing web development and IT-related things pays me a lot more currently.
