The point is this.

There's a status that comese with being a "chef" that's pretty meaningful. It speaks to somebody's experience, and their status. Ray and Giada aren't on TV because they've launched/run sucessful establishments. They're there because they look good and maybe wrote a cookbook that sold.

When Mario Batali, Ming Tse, Bobby Flay, do something, it carries a little bit more, because you know that they've done this for a living.

I recently heard this description of the difference between a cook and a chef:

A cook recreates others dishes.
A chef creates his/her own dishes.
