Why is the head chef called the head chef, then? He doesn’t “cook”.
- beaker52 10mo agoThe difference is that the head chef can cook very well and could do a better job of the dish than the trainee.
- 9rx 10mo agoTo differentiate him from the "cook", which is what we call those who carry out the actual act of cooking.
- elliotbnvl 10mo agoWell, don’t go around calling me a compiler!
- 9rx 10mo agoIf that's what you do, then the name is perfectly apt. Why shy away from what you are?
- krapp 10mo ago"head chef" is a managerial position but yes often they can and do cook.
