A chef is a person who cooks
professionally. The term, chef,
is usually used only for the one person in charge of everyone else in the kitchen.
The chef is responsible for everything about the food in a restaurant. He is responsible for buying the food, hiring and supervising the kitchen workers, creating the menus
for the customers, and deciding the recipes.
