Why do hotel chefs wear white hats?

The origin of "chef's hat" chefs around the world may wear different work clothes at work. But the hats they wear are the same, all white high hats. Wearing this hat is good for hygiene and can prevent the chef's hair and dandruff from falling into the dish. However, the chef who first wore this hat was not from the perspective of hygiene, but as a symbol. In medieval Greece, there were frequent disturbances. Every time there was a war, the Greeks in the city fled to the monastery to take refuge. On one occasion, several famous chefs fled to the monastery. For safety reasons, they dress like monks, wearing black clothes and black hats. They get along well with the monks in the temple and cook for them every day. After a long time, they felt that they should distinguish themselves from the monks in their clothes, so they changed the black hat worn by the monks into white. Because he is a famous chef, chefs from other temples have followed suit. Today, almost all chefs in the world wear this kind of hat. Chefs can distinguish the technical level by the level of working hat they wear. The more experienced, the higher the level, the higher the height of the hat, which can be divided into chef hat, chef hat and chef hat. The number of hat folds is also very particular, which is proportional to the height of the hat. Chef's hat is generally about 29.5 cm high. Both the chef and the chef wear this kind of hat. Chef's hat is basically the same as chef's hat, but the height is much lower and the cap pleats are less. A hat worn by ordinary chefs. Chef's hat basically has no height and few wrinkles. A hat worn by a kitchen worker. The more wrinkles on the chef's hat, the higher the grade. The chef wears a kitchen towel instead of a tie. Its color varies with grades. Most chefs wear red. The supervisor wears black; Ordinary employees wear white. Because of the different management modes, the colors of each hotel are different! In some places, kitchen towels are called triangular towels. Generally, western chefs wear a lot of clothes. For the past nine years, it's usually white. Nowadays, some hotels have also divided colors in order to distinguish grades and departments. Every hotel is different. Take Shangri-La Hotel as an example. The top of their triangular scarf is white, and the apprentice brother is the same color (to distinguish departments). At present, the top chef in Holiday Inn is black, and the department chef is white. There is also an anecdote about the triangular scarf, which was told to me by a foreigner. It is said that when a chef wants to sneeze, he can block it with a triangular towel to avoid embarrassment. What's more technical is that when a fire breaks out, the chef can drag the triangle towel and cover his mouth to escape.
