I am proud to say that I grew up in cajun country - Lafayette, Louisiana. My grandmother spoke cajun french, and I was surrounded by incredible food growing up. Food is a lifestyle down in cajun country. Festivals, parties, tailgates, you name it. Point being, much of the great food we all enjoy in cajun country is not "restaurant food" prepared by a "chef." It's the food made by moms, dads, paw paws, "parrains", caterers, the fisherman getting off the boat, the old lady down the street taking care of your cripple grandma, etc. Though people love to dine out here in cajun country, the atmosphere isn't quite like what you might get in a city like New York or Chicago or Seattle or New Orleans where diners go out on a journey to try out a certain chef.

Having said that, I'll offer you up what are probably the three most famous, in no order: Paul Prudhomme, John Folse, and Justin Wilson.

But again, just keep in mind, this does not mean these famous guys are the best. 20+ years in South Louisiana and New Orleans and the best cook I have ever known in my life - BY FAR - is a big ole woman named "Miss Doris" that took care of my grandmother in her final years of life. I would put her food up against any millionaire famous chef.

Thats how things are down here - everyone has their own version of a "Miss Doris". And thats where we go to get our great food. Not the "chefs" - good as they are themselves.

What is a master chef?

A master chef is the person who is in charge of the other chefs and who oversees the general work flow. This position is not to be confused with that of the executive chef. ANSWER I would consider a master chef to be near the top of their game. They would probably be either head chef or executive chef or might not even be cheffing as a job. But they would be one of the best in their speciality, either in their country or in the world. Executive chef spends most of the time, either doing management side of things, writing menu's or food ordering. They spend a little time in the kitchen. Their orders come first. Head Chef will be either the main chef if there is no executive chef or the main chef in the kitchen. if the executive chef is not there, the head chef will be in charge. Does spend some time out of kitchen too. Sous chef means second in charge. When the head chef isn't there and there isn't a executive chef, the sous chef is in charge. The master chef is in charge of all chefs...

Is chef a verb?

Absolutely. We in catering use chef as a verb all the time. As in: Who'll chef the Smith wedding? Rob will chef. It absolutely is not a verb. To cook is a verb. You can say, "Who will be the chef for the Smith wedding." Chef is only a noun.
