I believe the answer is:

chef

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'revolutionary fellow who works in the kitchen' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'revolutionary fellow' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'che'+'f'='CHEF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chef that I've seen before include "Hotel cook" , "French master" , "Key kitchen worker" , "Chief male cook in restaurant" , "one in the restaurant" .)
