The standard uniform for a chef includes a hat, necktie, double-breasted jacket, apron, houndstooth (check) trousers (to disguise stains)[9] and shoes with steel or plastic toe-caps, or clogs.[10][11] A chef's hat was originally designed as a tall rippled hat called a Dodin Bouffant.
>The Dodin Bouffant had 101 ripples that represent the 101 ways that the chef could prepare eggs.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.
