There's the head chef, who comes up with the recipes and oversees the
kitchen, and ensures proper flow (the right dishes getting to the right
customers all at the same time), I believe, and who does the Major Cooking.
The sous-chef is the one who ensures that the recipes are followed, does a lot
of cooking and prepwork (like sauce-making, and garnishing) and such. There
are those lower down on the food chain who spend most
of their time peeling, chopping, cleaning, and washing up afterward.
Think of a sous-chef as assistant head of kitchen/head chef in training, and
you get the idea.

I think.
