Fans of "The Bear" know that everyone says "Yes chef" to each other in the restaurant, but do you know why this is important?
An attitude of mutual respect can lessen any abuses or resentment from a hierarchical structure., Carmy Berzatto establishes a method of address among his kitchen staff from the very start after taking over The Beef from his deceased brother:"Yes, chef." Naturally, the rest of the staff bristle at this, having grown very close over the years they had worked together, calling each other by names both familiar and often playfully obscene.
Another part of Berzatto's plan to improve the operation of the restaurant—before upgrading the restaurant itself in the second season—is to run the kitchen like the elite restaurants he worked in previously do.
This authority can easily be abused, as we've seen from TV shows and movies, fictional and reality-based, starring maniacal, cruel head chefs who relish taking out their frustrations on those working for them. The practice of addressing everyone as"chef" helps to remind those in charge that even those on the bottom of the hierarchy are individuals worthy of respect, as well as valuable contributors to the operation of the kitchen.
Furthermore, the common respect inspired by “yes chef” helps make the hierarchical structure more palatable to those inclined to resist it . It helps remind them that even though some people are placed in authority over others, that does not make them “better” or more worthy in any intrinsic way. Staff members may have different professional statuses, but that is for the purpose of the operation of the kitchen itself; at the end of the day, they’re all people.
Most of us don’t work in a professional kitchen, but many of us work in hierarchical workplaces where respect between supervisors and employees can be somewhat, shall we say, lacking. Even if offices don’t adopt a “yes chef” system exactly, the lesson to be learned from it is that, even though people may differ in status and authority in their organization, they are all persons possessed of dignity and deserving of respect.
