What is the difference between a Head Chef and an Executive chef?
In Hells Kitchen this week the winners met the Executive Chef of the resturant they will be Head Chef at. So what is the difference between them? Does the Executive Chef report to them? Does He oversee them? Are they equals just doing different jobs with similar titles?

Technically, an Executive Chef is one who oversees several, or even hundreds of, kitchens each with its own head chef or kitchen services supervisor; In other words an actual company executive.
As Hell's Kitchen has little to do with reality, Executive Chef is simply a fancified title. In practical terms the guy called Executive Chef will be the Head Chef, and the guy who wins the game will be a flunky to the Sous Chef but be called Head Chef.

Chef de cuisine is the traditional French term from which the English word chef is derived. Head chef is often used to designate someone with the same duties as an executive chef, but there is usually someone in charge of them, possibly making the larger executive decisions such as direction of menu, final authority in staff management decisions, etc. This is often the case for chefs with several restaurants.
The soux chef gets every thing ready for the chef. The slicing, dicing and prepares all the ingredients for the chef to come in an put it all together and get all the GLORY.
