My usual advice would be Dockers (you don't have to go with the usual tan there are nice conservative colors available) and a button down shirt with a tie....clean hands and nails as well as a recent haircut and shave.
The shoes need to be clean and shined as well and plz wear socks lol..... nothing worse than hairy man ankles peeking out from the pants when you sit down.
That you think to ask already shows that you will most likely interview well in a more formal and conservative setting.
Welcome to Chef Talk and good luck with the interview.
I agree with ffg! Neat and clean no suit. What I look for is, clean looking hair, clean shaved, clean hands and fingernails. Good hand shake and eye contact is another plus. What every Chef wants in a beginning cook is to hear the candidate wants to work hard, is dependable and can work all hours. If someone calls in sick your their guy. Be the person that is open to any and all things that can help the Chef succeed in any and all situations. .............Good luck and Welcome to Cheftalk..........Chef Bill
I bring my knives etc., but leave them in the car with a clean uniform (jacket, pants, shoes, socks, bakers cap), because you never know and it is better to be prepared.
