In everyone’s impression

Every chef wears a white top hat.

And it seems that the higher the height of the hat, the higher the level of the chef.

So, why do chefs wear white hats

instead of other colors?

In fact, wearing this kind of hat

mainly gives people a sense of cleanliness and hygiene.

When cooking

The hat can prevent the chef’s hair dandruff from falling into the dishes.

not from a hygienic perspective

but only as a symbol.

In the Middle Ages, wars broke out, and invaders killed everyone on sight

Only the monks did not kill

Because the monastery was sacrosanct

They also put on the black clothes and black hats of Taoist priests.

The chef ate and lived with the monks, and cooked for the monks every day.

As time went by, in order to distinguish themselves from real monks

They changed their black hats to white top hats.

After the war subsided, the chefs all returned to their respective restaurants

But they still like to wear white hats and operate in the kitchen.

Because they are all famous chefs, chefs in other places have begun to follow suit

Wearing this white high hat one after another.

Over time, wearing a white high hat has become a symbol of a chef.

What is even more interesting is the height of this white hat

It is said that the relevant departments have also formulated standards for wearing hats

According to the level of the chef's skills and the chef's The length of service

respectively stipulates the height of the chef's hat

so that people can know the chef's cooking level just by looking at the hat
