re: Calling each other chef in the restaurant industry

Mildly interesting tidbit - the English word chief comes from the French word Chef, so chef basically means the kitchen chief. For instance Chef menteur highway translates to chief liar.

I worked in a white table cloth French Quarter restaurant for 6 years and never heard anyone call someone “chef” on the line. “Corner” and “heard” are legit lingo though.

I used to be a chef. Not trained but I ran kitchens in nice restaurants. Some cooks call everyone chef and others called me chef only. A few old stubborn cooks would not call me, the young boss, chef at all!

My favorite was always “watch your nuts” if reaching down for something with someone in the way. Even said it to all my female cooks

Is how they portray it on TV in the movies really how it is in the restaurant biz?
I am assuming a lot of this stems from The Bear. Carmy intentionally is implementing his French Brigade background in a setting where it really doesn't fit. It's part of the hook.

Similar to how high school coaches refer to each other as Coach. Always got a kick out of this.

If the chef is a certified chef, hell often be called chef. I worked with a lot of chefs in the restaurant biz. Of course, I never checked their diploma but I imagine that the restaurant/ private club did upon employment.
Whats funny about that is that I am a CPA and no employer has ever asked to see proof of my certificate. I have it if they wanted but everyone just assumes its true because its on my resume.

What kind of private club are we talking about here? Eyes wide shut?

No, in the real world the boss of the restaurant kitchen is called "Jefe" because all the employees speak Spanish
