Newer distinction is between a Chef and Cook, where a Chef can design a menu and cook is your cooking professional. I think Kenji qualifies for both defs. Certainly the respect for the title and earning it is becoming diluted in new-school. Old-school rocks, some of my all-time favourite recipes are 700 years old and comply with every trick in modern food science. | |

Julia Child never called herself a chef, in contrast to Jacques Pepin who certainly was. Working the line isn't the same :-) But I guess that old meaning is gone, and it just means "cooking professional" now. | |

His TEDx profile also calls him chef, and if Rachel Ray is a chef.... He did work at many restaurants so he's not just a foodsci guy. Thanks for catching the shamefull typo. | |
