Hi I an architect/artist who has also thought about this..my thought is to try and find a way to make the food obsession part of what you already do; as such i would like to design restaurants and have worked on a few, nothing fancy but it is interesting..also maybe the teaching side? i am reading a lot about Julia Child, she never called herself a chef, only a home cook and she really focussed on the fact that she was a teacher..maybe you could offer classes as part of your passion? try writing? those things fit in better around a full time job..best of luck on your journey...
