Cooks vs Chefs
Grant you that a culinary chef has had years of training at his
chosen profession...They have gone to the best schools...They
served years of apprenticeship...They open fancy restaurants...
They wear funny shaped hats...But are they cooks?....
A cook does not have someone to order their supplies....They
buy them, themselves....A cook opens the kitchen cabinets and
says, "What dish can I prepare for my family with what I have?"...
(Did you notice that Chefs now have TV shows trying to do the
same thing a "cook" has done for years?)....
The cook makes it taste good and does not need a small drizzle
of red lobster tail sauce around the edge of the plate to entice
you to eat, besides pretty food is expensive...
Remember that there are more good cooks in the world than
fancy chefs with a "drizzle spoon"....Also if you look at a chef,
why is he always surrounded by "cooks"?....Pumps
