A 'commi' is not an apprentice chef. A commi is the lowest of the low that still handles food. Dishwashers are lower than commis, but only just.
What is the difference between a 4 star chef and a 5 star chef?
Chefs rankings are as follows. Chef de Cuisine...... Head chef Sous Chef ...... Second chef Chef de partie ..... A chef who runs a section these will be chef patissier / pastry chef.......... chef saucier / chef who cooks the meat dishes............chef poissonier / chef who cooks the fish dishes............chef entremittier / chef who prepares and cooks the vegetables / veg dishes .............. chef Garde mangier/ larder chef , he will make the pates & terrines and prepare raw meat , fish etc, salads and starters, normally all of the chef de parties will have a commis chef to assist them .......... commis chefs are trainee chefs Hope this helps
