    Great apron. I wear Birkenstocks now and and they really help with posture and are really comfortable when broken in. The thing about the classic chef jacket that if any boiling hot liquid spills on your chest you can instantly pull your jacket off minimising burns.

    I strongly and highly highly recommend mozo brand boots. I have been thru two pairs in 4 years. They stand test of time. Easy to clean, they look good, they fit great, your feet can breath, posture is good. As a diabetic my feet are important, as a chef 10-12 hours of standing does its toll on you. Mozo brand is by far the best I've used

    This is a great video with a lot of good points. I never really thought of professional kitchens being that dangerous relative to current day. I wear a summer weight tactical pant from Propper. Stain resistant, breathable, and lots of pockets. I enjoy the professional look off a modern white chef coat, however I‘ve brought one with me each time I staged, and never ended up wearing it there because the kitchens were so hot / it didn’t match the attire. I’m hoping it’ll come in handy if I pick up side gigs / my own work.
    I was wondering about the apron, Justin! I’ve seen similar proprietary design out there however many seemed overpriced. I’m in the process of making myself some out of cotton denim.
    On a side note, I’ll be starting a new job soon, where the kitchen has both a wood fired grill and pizza oven. :)

    In the recent past I was working at a country club, and the owners insisted that we wear chef coats. It took months, but I finally convinced them when I had to have one of the owners run Expo because we were so short, that we should be allowed to wear polo shirts. The next week they gave us nice golf polos out of the pro shop.

    • @jtmag3638
      @jtmag3638 6 лет назад +1

      TheCulinarian golf shirts are great for sweating heavily, but they’re meant to be worn outdoors, where they can dry properly. Rayon in the kitchen, is a disaster, the sweat stays on your body, the material gets extremely smelly, and it’s just the opposite of good kitchen attire. I promise, 100% cotton chef coat, or snap shirt, will change your life!

I am most comfortable in 100% cotton, my chef coats are all from “chefwear” and they’re all 100% cotton. This shirt looks awesome, if it were cotton I’d try it out. The apron your wearing, is PERFECT, please make more, please make them available to the world.

Food is trending right now because of social media but all trends die at some point. The saturation of restaurants will reel and this new era of fairy boy cooks aren’t going to be ready for it. Most badass cooks I know don’t know what brand their shoe is and wear a linen service white apron.

    Died. I used to wear Justin work boots in the kitchen. Personal preference. I also preferred steel toe for a long time. Welp. Honestly it was mostly for height too. I’m not even 5’3”. Be perfect as a pastry guy but no. I love barely reaching the pass when I’m on One toe leaning over a station. 😂
