A celebrity chef with multiple restaurants, a cookbook, and frequent television appearances typically moves through the restaurant without doing day-to-day cooking. Customers often ask whether the chef is working, and staff are instructed to give a standard reply that is often inaccurate. Kitchen roles follow a hierarchy in which “chef” means “chief,” so leadership positions focus on creating, managing, and directing rather than assembling dishes. Executive chefs and head chefs may coordinate and oversee, while the chef de cuisine and sous chef handle more of the physical cooking. The chef’s comment about working the next day is notable because it falls on a holiday he had previously avoided.
"The sous chef might be cooking. Literally "under" the chef, the sous chef does the brunt of the physical cooking that one usually attributes to a chef. But one must also remember that the word "chef" literally means "chief" in French. And that's four chiefs until you get to an actual worker."
