AIO I feel like I’m half right / half wrong here

I have a really good background in the culinary field, and I understand sometimes you’re expected to do free work - like above states, to see if I can cook ~proteins properly. But that’s it, just proteins. I’ve grilled protein before as part of my interview and when it was a stage it was paid..

If I conceptualize two plates it’ll take me an hour of unpaid work, cooking the two proteins alone would be 10 minutes which I originally had zero problems with. I feel like I’m just going there to make lunch for the chefs 😭 or maybe I’m over my head and being entitled?

I’ve worked at country clubs, mom & pop shops, cafe’s and fine dining establishments. And never had to conceptualize ~two dishes for free.

And his “don’t overthink it” comment really irked me the wrong way but this is the TOM for me 🙂‍↔️😮‍💨
