[Sca-cooks] *&^%$ Feastocrat!, was: Wines at a Feast

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

I think its perfectly ok for any head cook to pick a term that suits themselves. I'm a 
francophile, so cuisinier suits me :)

here, the term "steward" is usually used to describe the "hall steward", ie the guy who helps 
coordinate what happens in the hall with the kitchen. he organizes servers, dishing up, and works 
with the autocrate in hall layout, timing, etc.

but again each situation is going to be different based on your traditions and own experiences. 
and that's cool.
