Chef or Cook?

Straight to the point, huh? Not technical and long winded, just witty, I like it! It made me laugh and caught my attention, but still pretty much true. Though I think a cook could build on his/her skills though! Taripre$

Thank you for your kind words Taripre$. I started cooking eight years ago from the bottom up. From dishwasher to dining manager. I left because of management problems (micromanagement and staff problems). I recently started a new job as a kitchen supervisor for a hotel/restaurant. Beside supervising I'm a lead line cook. The cooks I work with are talented and show passion in the art of cooking. We're getting a new executive chef. I hope he's a hands-on type of chef who will work a line when needed.

Hmm, good answer! I always thought that a cook could learn more about his/her craft, but didn't have the discipline to get the knowledge to enhance it. I see it like an alley mechanic, he's good at what he does, but he's also limited to only what he's learned in the alley. But he neglects to grow his talent because he has low discipline and stuck in his ways. They're content don't see it as a move to better themselves financially and in knowledge! Taripre$

Chef Bouyartaripre$ in the kitchen...lol! I got plenty of cookbooks around, and I love to use them! Taripre$

Good point! Chefs are more exotic in their approach and trainings and are paid healthy for it! Taripre$

Yeah paying for school n all that! Paid much more like 2 to 3 times more than a cook. Though some Chefs I think is not worth the pay! Taripre$
