The Uniform Standard

School-issued uniforms are required in both culinary lecture and lab classes and consists of:

  • Chef’s Jacket
  • Chef Pants
  • Black, Non-Skid Kitchen Work Shoes
  • Black Cook’s Hat
  • Black Apron
  • An Instant Read Thermometer
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Culinary Student ID

Only school-issued uniforms are permitted.

Uniforms are required to be clean, stain-free and wrinkle free. Wash your jacket, pants, apron and hat after each day’s use. Jackets should have four creases, two in the back that form a T-shape and one down each arm. To form the T-shaped crease, first iron a horizontal crease across the back midway between each sleeve hole and then one down the middle of the back to form the T-shape. Sleeve creases should be opposite of the sleeve’s inside seam.

Pants should also be hemmed. Hem the bottom of each leg on the diagonal so that the front crease will reach the top of the instep, touching the top of the shoe laces and the back is midway between the top of the heel and the top of the back of the shoe.

Make-up and jewelry, including watches and wristbands should not be worn. A simple wedding band and one stud earring per ear are permissible. Hoop earrings and facial piercings are not permitted.
