But yeah it was your own fault, when I worked the morning shift it became so boring that I had to just sit there and when the other staff weren't talking we would talk waiting for customers. |
lol, Europe seems to have a funny idea of what the word "Chef" actually means (And it originated in France, no less)
A
chef is the man or woman who does the ordering, creates or edits the menus, delegates the specifications of how each menu item is to be prepared, what garnishes go on what, what sauces, and, in most kitchens without a saucier (pronounces sauce-e-yay) the chef makes the cold and hot sauces. In other words, the head chef is the
one person in charge of the kitchen. Other chefs can be present, but they only control one specific aspect of a large-scale kitchen. A sous-chef (sue, or soo-chef, french for "under chef") is the person or persons below a head chef or another chef, basically the chef's right hand man or woman.
A person who works under a chef or sous-chef doing basic things like sauteeing, baking, making platters, working a grill, a flat top, an oven, ect, is a
cook. I have aspirations of becoming a sous-chef, after culinary school, but probably not a chef, since I'm not big on being THE person in charge.
The word chef originated in France, and is short for chef de cuisine, or, in English, chief, or head, of the kitchen.
And, to be on topic, I can never see how someone can fall asleep at work, but I work a rather hectic job that, on most days, I love, but I love to be busy, so yeah.
