there is a flip side , of sorts , to the pressure discussed above

 

Im willing to suggest that the personality type  ( in this case Chef ) thrives ( of sorts ) on this pressure to begin with.

 

those that cut the mustard succeed and some don't.

 

some might enjoy and thrive under this pressure  

 

consider :  Race car drivers , 220 ++ mph for 2.5 hours where a sneeze at the wrong time might be catastrophic

 

Fighter Pilots landing on an aircraft carrier in rough seas at night ?

 

fortunately ive found my level :   Pulling a Cork in the late afternoon.

 

P.S.:

 

I found this quote insightful :

 

"  he would continue to dazzle diners' palates "without wondering whether my creations will appeal to Michelin's inspectors". "

 

Ive added thee bold italics 

 

inspectors are one thing , diners another.
