The Sous Chef and "The Chef" a.k.a. Executive Chef

In the kitchen, you have prep-cooks and line-cooks, which are the "beasts of burden". Working long and hard, executing on the designs and inspirations that come from those above them.

Depending on the size and organization of a kitchen, there can be many different "labels" applied to describe the various jobs involved.

At the top of the food-chain (no pun intended) would be the Sous Chef and "The Chef" (a.k.a. Executive Chef). The Sous Chef is "second in command" of the kitchen/Galley, while the Chef is the one who is ultimately responsible for the entire kitchen, and the food that comes out of it.

The Chef owns the "vision" of the menu, designing the dishes, researching the ingredients, and making sure that the delectable meals that they create are possible to be re-created in a cost-efficient manner by the staff at their disposal and the supervision of The Sous Chefs.
