When used in reference to a cook with no sous-chefs or other workers beneath him, the term connotes a certain degree of prestige—whether culinary education or ability—distinguishing the chef from a “cook”. As a borrowing, chef was originally italicized, but such treatment is now obsolete.
Within a catering establishment, the head cook (and no-one else) will normally be addressed simply as "chef" as a term of respect.
