What do chefs do?

Chefs cook and make food for all of us humans to enjoy. "Chef" is French for "chief" or "boss." The chef is in charge. In a very small restaurant the chef might be in charge of himself, and he'd cook everything. In a little larger kitchen, there might be a chef and a few cooks under him. In a really big kitchen like the one in a hotel, there will be the "chef de cuisine" that runs the whole food service effort, a "sous chef" that leads the section chefs, and chefs for sections like sauces, pastries and cold food. Section chefs lead cooks.
