The above conflicts with GFDL. I have rewritten to clear the CV. The above link is now listed under external links.

It would be nice to get examples of how the uniform changes depending on rank (specifics.) Also, is there a difference between the toque blanc and the "floppy" chefs hat regarding ranks, etc? Or is it just a different style? Also, aren't clogs often worn by chefs? Are there lesser toque pleats when you are a novice?

I found this page very useful, but also have the same questions about toques and other headgear. It will be interesting to see what is available as a reliable source! Lyle 02:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chefs

Just found this after writing a similar piece on the Chefs page. Is a seperate page necessary? I've also noticed a few misconceptions about the reasons for the uniform here. A jacket is not double breasted because it can be turned over - I know Chef's do do that, but it's not the reason for it! Also the main reason for the uniform being white isn't for cleanliness but to repel heat - but I suppose it is one reason. I see also that you mention toques - but the picture doesn't display one! I'll leave both page and section for now, see what others think. --Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
