message: I have added a merge proposal to c Chef and Cook (professional).  The professional cook falls within the classification of chef and in today's industry the terms are used interchangeably.  --Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: MERGE PROPOSAL

message: What is the connexion between the article and the image of "food service workers" (although I can see only one) preparing a salad? We might as well show a picture of a cow in a meadow and claim that chefs also supervise the preparation of beef.
Get rid of that photo. <KF> 11:19, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Misc.

message: From the article: "In most English-speaking countries, however, it ['sous-chef'] describes a, possibly entirely untrained, kitchen-aide."  I dispute this definition.  I have only ever known it to mean second-in-command in the kitchen.  Moreover, the American Heritage Dictionary agrees with me: "The chef who is second in authority in a restaurant or kitchen, ranking below the head chef." --timc | Talk 14:38, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: :Sous-Chef Is Directly Below The Chef (Executive Chef). Sous Which Means Below. So Sous-Chef Means Below The Chef.
::Not always, there is also a title betwen these 2, known as an executive sous chef. There is one in my hotel. Wiki ian 07:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An Executive Sous Chef is a title relegated to American hotels, feel free to add it in the place where you see fit with a proper definition, I think it is very relevant to this article.Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

:This varies greatly with education, training, location, rank, size of establishment.  There is no concrete answer to this question.  Checking on of the online salary calculators may assist you in this answer as they ask specific questions that will help answer this question.  You may try Monster.com or one of the hospitality job locators to answer this question as well.  This article is not a good place for listing such a broad question. --Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Payment 

message: Very well written page and expresses the basics in the terms of the Kitchen brigade. I do have one issue, i work in a four star hotel that has a simular kitchen brigade setup, however there are 3 other types of chefs in my hotel that fall in between Chef de partie and Cooks and assistants. These are Demi Chefs (superviser chefs), Commis Chefs (normal Qualified Chefs) and Apprentice Chefs (Yet to be qualified Chefs). Surely these aren't just terms used in my hotel brigade, Does anyone else think maybe those 3 Chef titles should be on this page? Wiki ian 10:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
