The Chief Cook is a 1917 American two-reel silent comedy film from the King-Bee Films featuring Oliver Hardy. The film was shot in Bayonne, New Jersey, where King-Bee was then located. Chaplin biographer Uno Asplund analyzes it as a "vaguely Chaplin" film that was sometimes even advertised with an image of Chaplin (see movie advertisement). It was on a double bill with The Fly Cop.
