Any chefs here, what do you wear at work? and what sort of kitchen are you working in?

>> No.7536121

I wear basically exactly what's in your image.

Black t-shirt, low key chef pants (none of that striped shit), black nonslip shoes kept clean and occasionally polished, black or white chef scull cap.

Not a chef, but line cook at a downtown bar/pub type place where business people come after work to get overpriced classic American fare.

Used to have a kitchen dress code but the laundry got too expensive. Most people change in the storage room but I just show up dressed for work with my hat in my back pocket.

I worked at a kind of laid-back fine dining place (if that makes sense) and the dress code was literally whatever you wanted with a blue bragard over it. Track pants and T-shirts all day, baby.

>> No.7536174

I'm not a chef, but I work in a kitchen. I wear charcoal grey chefwear pants, easy to clean black clogs, a white undershirt and the white chef coats the company supplies and has dry cleaned for us. They offer pants too, but they are itchy as fuck. I keep my hair very short and don't bother with a hat.

I work at a small private resort in the terrible state of Florida. I make all the breads and desserts. We have both a fine dining and casual menu, depending on where you decide to sit.

No, but there is one right across the street.

We're more seafood, burgers, pizzas, bar food, and everything fried you can imagine.

My buddy works reheating frozen food at the Cheesecake Factory, and they make them wear the full chef uniform with the double breasted jacket.

>> No.7536279

>>7536087
Black band t-shirt (usually slipknot, disturbed, asking alexandria, etc.) black or camo cargo shorts with a wallet chain, vans or DC skate shoes, and of course, my trusty fedora.

It's great not being a conformist, nobody messes with me or gives me shit.

I'm a chef who catered the last ICP tour. I typically would wear a fresh pair of JNCO's and some type of silk button-up with flame designs.

Unless it's a hubris thing or forced in a policy I don't know a single chef that wears their coat on the line. Checker pattern MC Hammer pants and dishwasher snaps shirts are the way to go

We don't have to, we all can wear whatever we want but I work at a upper class wine bar and the kitchen is partially visible I want people to think I am a skilled individual not some sweaty dick in a shirt


We have the option and I buy my own, it shows professionalism, anybody important wears one or at least owns one. The exec likes it and the immigrants who only work there one day a week call me jefe


I'm usually too fucked up and insanely sweaty anyway

>> No.7536751

>>7536743
this desu

I work in a cafe and it's pretty standard stuff nothing fancy. But as the kitchen is completely visible from the front counter I dress in chef pants and a nice black button shirt. It's not about hubris or policy, it's about hospitality and dressing appropriately for appearance

>> No.7536765

>>7536751
Plus when I'm at the bar up front or in public it's apparent who I am, I enjoy talking up front with people who loved my special, that the plating on the weekly cheesecake was a perfect end to the night, their steak was at temp it's great

and also i think it's stylish but whatever

Sous chef at the Taphouse of a local brewery.
Jeans, T-shirt, ballcap every day. Shirt and hat are black with company logo.

The Taphouse is a recent venture for the brewery, open less than a year. They spent the first 6 months without a chef and horrible teenage cooks until the owner sniped me and my chef from our last kitchen, so dress code was never a thing

>> No.7536966

i have a dresscode

Dark bluejeans, black t, ugly as fuck green or slightly less ugly brown company apron, ugly tan ill-fitting company cap or even uglier tan company visor

oh and a of course nametag worn on the RIGHT SIDE, NEVER THE LEFT

Just an apron and tshirt. I kinda like to sneak into the freezer to rub one out real quick. Makes it taddd easier this way going without pants! Love my job!

>> No.7537022

Longsleeved white jacket, black dickies slacks, birkenstocks, blue/white striped bib apron. Open kitchen, fine dining. Honestly the only thing I'd change is being able to wear a tee or something when it gets warmer out, because our restaurant has suckass ventilation.

I'm guessing you're that guy who shows up decked out in his new kicks that cost a week's worth of pay just to show off to the other cooks who don't give a shit, and then spend 10 minutes changing after clocking in.

Nobody likes you.

I like to work without pant so spatter is hosed off after work, or in bathroom on break. Saves on washer money. Also wear steel tip boots.
