The reason why the chef's hat is so high:

1, soliciting customers: originated in France, it was a chef who borrowed the customer's hat, customized his own hat to solicit customers.

Thanks to a French chef. In France, a chef was particularly business-minded and innovative, and when he received a guest, he noticed that the guest was wearing a very tall hat, and was behaving in an unassuming manner when ordering and dining, much like an aristocrat.

So the chef followed the customer's example and customized a very tall hat for himself. Sure enough, customers were attracted to the chef's hat, and more customers came, making the chef famous.

A tall hat is indeed very conspicuous, the chef with such a hat, to be able to attract customers, which is also a kind of professional wisdom.

2, distinguish the level: the French Chef Hat Association developed a chef's hat of the four levels, easy for others to quickly identify the chef level.

Later, France set up a chef hat association, only the best chefs are invited to join this association, and give them white high hat, chef hat is divided into four levels:

One, the highest level of the chef's hat, as high as 29.5 cm.

Two, the head chef's hat, at 26.5 centimeters, is relatively long.

Three, ordinary chef hat in 25 centimeters.

Four, the apprentice chef's hat is also 10 centimeters.

Chef hat is not flat, a closer look will find that there are creases on it, it is not a hat with a long time to become wrinkled, but the more creases indicate that the chef's craftsmanship is higher, do out of the thing is more delicious.

3, show identity: the higher the hat the higher the level of the chef, the higher the level of the chef's hat, identity, status, very conspicuous.

Borrowing from the French chef in the world of chef status, chef on this profession there is such a chef hat culture.

The higher the chef's hat, the higher the level of the chef, on the one hand, the high hat highlights the chef's level, status, position, on the other hand, for diners, you can easily identify the level of the chef, which is the chef and the diners, are a kind of respect.

4, industry respect: chef hat high respect by the industry, but also urged the chef to self-restraint, giving the chef professional soul.

In the world, there are only two kinds of professional clothing is white, one is a medical worker, the other is a chef.

A real chef, is to believe and maintain their own profession as faith, cooking is to bring people a good profession, is sacred, wearing a tall hat, neither comfortable nor convenient, but can do: increase the chef's own sense of honor, urging chefs to self-restraint.

Giving the chef the soul of the profession, all for the food count, for the diners count. In this materialistic era, we need a little bit of spiritual convergence, in order to make the good spirit is not lost. And then see the chef's high hat, no need to be curious, to them to salute, for their professionalism praise it.

Being a chef in addition to technology also needs the basic qualities:

First of all, as a chef is certainly to have a sense of enterprise and responsibility, to ensure that the quality of the dishes, if you do not cook for the quality of your dishes, safety is responsible for the words of the guests will not be assured of you.

Secondly, we must have a good psychological quality, can correctly treat the guest's complaints, sometimes the guest's suggestion is to cook for the chef to do better, we also need to respect the guests.

Again, the chef should love the collective, open-minded, although the chef in the same restaurant there will be competition, but it is not that the two sides look down on each other, but should be the same head and progress together up.

Lastly in the chef's working hours do not smoke, have good hygiene habits, polite. Some chefs will smoke, and even smoke during working hours, which is not only irresponsible for the dishes but also potentially dangerous for the working environment.
