Thanks to reality TV and America's desire to stuff their faces like these are the last days of the Roman Empire the job title of chef has grown in stature and prestige.

But before you become a chef, you have to work your way through the kitchen. Farm Bloomington, a restaurant in Bloomington, Indiana, figured there would be so many applicants with culinary stars in their eyes for their line cook position that they posted a Craigslist ad with 44 intricately detailed job requirements.

They include "Only answer 'yes, chef' or 'oui, chef' and "Always show up to work, even if you are sick as a dog. Let the chef see that you're really sick and send you home."

If taken separately, the requirements are overbearing but not necessarily unreasonable. But when you read them all together it offers a horrifying peak inside the id of the restaurant industry.

Harry Shaffer, the general manager of Farm Bloomington, has admitted the ad was posted in haste by a sous chef and the restaurant quickly took it down.

However you can't really ever erase something from the internet. You can see the entire list that should make any wannabe Food Network star reconsider their path below.
