I realize this may be a silly question, but having never used a chef uniform, I am curious. What, if anything, do you wear under your chef coat? I'm Going to be attending the CIA bootcamp in California (baking & pastry), and will receive 2 uniforms. I don't want to show up looking like a goof! . Was thinking maybe a light t-shirt or talk top? This is a dream I have wanted for to do for about 10 years, and hubby has tired of listening to me ask for this. Ha,ha....
Nothing if its going to be hot, which it usually is being a kitchen. In February sometimes I can se my breath in the mornings because the intake takes so much cold air in so in that case; a sweater.
I prefer a light undershirt. I would rather perspire in the shirt then the jacket, especially if you only have two. Also sometimes if you use some bleach to clean a uniform I know of a lot of people who get a rash if they perspire onto bleached clothing. just sayin
like @chefboyOG says. Take it serious but not to the point of not enjoying it. You'll have a blast!
Thanks for the replies. I purchased a few lightweight t-shirts and have been trying them out w/ success.
