Yes that is the tradition but as a customer, you often find that the tip is shared disproportionately. I've had delicious food served by a terrible waiter or waitress... wanted to give the chef a great tip but the server the bare minimum. I guess in general I believe the cook's job is a lot more difficult and I'd like to ensure a larger percentage of my tip goes to him or her, but am pretty sure it doesn't.
