In hotels and restaurants, every chef wears a white top hat.

Wearing this hat gives people a clean and hygienic feeling.

When cooking, the hat can prevent the chef's hair and dandruff from falling into the dishes.

At the same time, the temperature in the kitchen is relatively high, because this kind of hat has a larger space, which also prevents the chef from getting too hot.

However, chefs originally wore high white hats not from a hygienic point of view, but simply as a symbol.

In the Middle Ages, wars broke out in Greece, and the invaders killed everyone on sight. Only the monks did not kill because the monastery was sacrosanct, so people took refuge in the monastery one after another.

Once, several famous chefs fled to the monastery. For safety, 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 hotels, but they still liked to wear white hats and operate in the kitchen.

Because they are all famous chefs, chefs in other places have begun to follow suit and wear these white high hats.

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

There are some very interesting stories about the origin of chefs wearing white hats.
