What do you someone who works in a kitchen but does all the prep work for the cooks? Is there a term for that? Thanks.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say prep cook.

I got the feeling that a sous chef is more of a chef's assistant, and is more high-end. Every prep cook job I ever had consisted of chopping vegetables, making salads, getting ingredients ready for the cook - that sort of thing. Much lower stress than any job title with "chef" in it. And therefore beloved of my people.

Ok, thanks all! I've done prep cook work before with a smidge of line-cook thrown in, so that was kind of the area I was looking for.

Line Cook, or prep cooks sounds right I think

The sous chef is the second in command. Not a position for entry level. Takes restaurant experience.

sous chef?

prep cook A prep cook Sous chef The sous-chef de cuisine (under-chef of the kitchen) is the direct assistant of the executive chef and is second in command. They may be responsible for scheduling, and filling in when the executive chef is off-duty. The Sous Chef will also fill in for, or assist the chef de partie (line cook) when needed. Smaller operations may not have a sous chef, while larger operations may have multiple.[2]
