Look, we love photographs. We love taking them. We love sharing them. We even love featuring them here on Digg. But sometimes we want more than what just a single image can offer.

SETTING THE STAGE FOR GREATNESS
The Diverse World Of Unpaid Internships For Award Winning Chefs
munchies.vice.com
Interning for free — or staging — in another chef's restaurant as a way to learn new techniques or be exposed to new cuisines is a longstanding and common practice in the restaurant industry. However, more and more chefs are taking on unconventional internships or classes that teach skills falling outside their typical job description as a means to keep up with the ever-changing world of food.
