the chat is semi-lit to lit! don't be frightened by this lengthy post
the bear is a tv show produced by FX productions, following a world-class chef as he returns to his hometown, chicago, to reinvent the restaurant his older brother owned before passing away. the road to accomplishing this is rough, and despite having a fully constructed vision of what the restaurant could become, being surrounded by people pessimistic about change makes it close to impossible. with a lack of understanding as to why the chef inherited the restaurant, after explicitly not being allowed to work there by his older brother, his brother’s closest friend becomes the biggest challenge on the road to reinvention.
note: you do not need to have seen the show to be a part of the roleplay!! what’s most important is basic knowledge, which can be found in this post alone. however, I do encourage anyone interested(or uninterested) to watch this utterly amazing piece of media. It is truly a great tv show.

the french brigade is a system used in advanced kitchens, to achieve the highest level of focus, cooperation, and communication between stations. there are assigned roles to each chef, and you only operate within your field unless explicitly asked by the head chef to do otherwise. this is a system that is eventually adapted into the kitchen in the show, and therefore understanding these roles is important.
chef de cuisine | head chef
the chef de cuisine, or the cdc, is the head chef of the kitchen, and what this role implies is pretty self-explanatory. the chef de cuisine is in charge of all activities related to the kitchen, which includes anything from managing the staff to the safety measures of the restaurant to purchasing stock and equipment to the menu and plate designs. the plate de cuisine is the boss, also called the ringleader of the circus.
sous chef de cuisine | second in command
the sous chef de cuisine is the second in command of the kitchen, also called the right hand of the chef de cuisine. the sous chef de cuisine is mostly in charge of supervision and delegating tasks among the staff. they’re also in charge of the efficiency in the kitchen and overseeing each station to make sure each dish provided to the costumers meets the highest standard.
chef executif | executive/business
a chef executif is in charge of most executive tasks. this includes overseeing prep work and ensuring that all dishes leaving the kitchen are consistent in both presentation and quality, based on prearranged standards and designs. they’re also in charge of maintaining the costs of stock and supervising the kitchen's economy. the chef executif is also in charge of designing the menu, the layout of the restaurant, and all other business-related activities, in cooperation with the chef de cuisine.
chef departie | station chef
a chef de partie runs a specific station in the kitchen and is in charge of cooking and presenting high-quality dishes that relate to their specialty. they also report to the sous chef about the progress throughout the day and are generally in charge of preparations of dishes, cooking, and plating.
some examples of chef de partie roles are: saucier(sauce chef), patissier(pastry chef), boucher(butcher chef), poissonnier(fish chef), friturier(fry chef), grillardin(grill chef) or entemetier(vegetable chef)
