The term "Chef" has been abused for a while now... I'm surprised people all of a sudden take offense to its misuse. I understand the amount of hard work that goes into earning the title, but why get frustrated over something that is going to happen and will not be stopping anytime soon.
In normal conversation with those outside of the biz, I get called chef all the time. I tried explaining the difference between cook & chef, but gave up.
I actually prefer to be called by first name and intend to keep it that way. |
