Note
A regular plural made with a plain -s, and it covers every meaning of chef. That includes head cooks and household cooks, slang's makers of illegal drugs, and the head-shaped reliquaries of historical writing. The same spelling is also an informal verb: someone who works as a cook chefs at a restaurant. So "she chefs" and "three chefs" share one form, and only the grammar of the sentence tells them apart.
She chefs at a seafood place on weekends.
In the evenings he chefs for a private household.
