Line Cook

Line cooks are professional kitchen workers who rank above unskilled food preparers or kitchen aides. In terms of a professional cooking apprenticeship, a line cook is one step below a sous chef or specialized chef such as a rotisseur or saucier. A line cook can be considered an entry level position, but for someone who is looking to advance in a culinary career. Line cooks are oftentimes on their way up in the culinary career ladder.
