Professional Appearance

When presenting food to the public a chef is expected to have a clean uniform and a clean manner. The uniforms worn in modern kitchens pay homage to the tradition of cooking, and also fulfill a practical purpose. A classic clean white uniform shows a chefs skill and cleanliness, and provides a barrier from heat and spills. A skullcap or chef hat keeps hair from falling in food and absorbs sweat in conjunction with a neckerchief. Baggy pants help to keep spilled liquids from sticking to legs and are comfortable to wear all day in the kitchen.
