People whose resumes I am glad I have never seen: 1) Greg, you look like ****. I mean kind of dirty, scruffy, and you are the reason for the few remaining closed kitchens. (Not open). Youd look a helluvalot better in a chef coat. 2) If you dont like the chefs coat, dont wear it. Thats not an invitation to come to work in your underwear. Kitchen wear should still be kitchen and not street wear. 3) Hats have a reason, although not that huge a reason. Baseball caps, yarmulkes, whatever doe the same thing. So do hairnets. Toques look really stupid out of place. Bakers caps are sweet. Especially culinary school toques. 4) Depending on the venu, chefs usually have a clean coat hanging in the office - they dont have to keep every coat looking perfect. 5) Chefs coats are pretty good looking. I have long said that there is no such thing as an ugly chef. Sometimes I wonder if people dont decide to become chefs when they see how good they look in them. I had a modelling agency across the hall once and the owner kept coming to me and asking if I would give him access to my candidates. 6) Although the purpose of a chef coat is somewhat defeated by wearing it outside the kitchen (that being to keep the outside out and the inside in) I have always been delighted when a chef ran down from someplace in his coat for a quick greet and interview, filling the office with the scent of cut onions and cooking food. 7) Professional restaurants use professional laundry services. Their chefs dont wash and iron their own. The laundries do indeed use swimming pool bleach which is also laundry bleach, clean up the mess the dog left bleach and any other kind of bleach, bleach being bleach, to a) keep the coat white (not a chance against lamp black from the stove) and b) kill bacteria and other microbes, which I as a diner dont want my chef to be wearing around while he cooks. You could not attain the same white by jumping into a swimming pool in your coat. 8) Why is he holding a burning cardboard in the middle of a restaurant which presumably has guests in out front? Looking to cash in on insurance? Like its a chef coat, not a bra, and burning bras was actually pretty stupid and ineffective. The burning rubber in the elastic stank to high heaven and polluted mightily. Most of the people who burned them still wear them today. 9) Chef coats not only hide guts. They make them rather fetching. Would work for Greg.
