Actually there is a word 'feastocrat'. It has been printed and used for many 
years. Granted it is not in Webster's but .......who really cares whether 
Webster thinks it's a word or not? :-) It is not a period term for a Kitchen 
Steward but then again neither does Head Cook fully describe a Kitchen 
Steward's functions completely  and is just as inaccurate as 'feastocrat' is 
contrived. The reality is that there is no period term that accurately 
describes the functions of the person in charge of SCA feasts.

The point I'm making here is that each area has their own preference as to 
what the Kitchen Steward should be called and none is really any better or 
worse than any other except in the  mind of those who use a particular term.
