when can you call yourself a chef? - Page 3

In my opinion you can call yourself a chef when you hold that position. Otherwise you are a line cook, or "cook". I hate those people who call them chefs when they are line cooks and so on. But, this has been the widely debated topic of many. But if you are owning your own business and making things happen with no one telling you what to do, then rock on Chef.

A-yup

 

The best way to define this thing is the "acid test" as follows:

 

A "Cook" is judged by what they put on a plate

 

A "Chef" is judged by how they run a kitchen.
