| Try a restaurant supply store. They're apt to be lower priced than in
a gourmet kitchen store.

| In many restaurants, the higher the chef's toque, the higher their
rank in the kitchen. You have to earn the tallest ones from schools
like Escoffier, Culinary Institute of America, etc. My son got his
lower ones from a uniform store when he was in training.

| During my current quest to purchase a few pieces of Calaphon commercial
aluminum cookware, I happened to cross some chef hats which seem to
have the shape of mushrooms. They were at United Resturant Equipment in
Lowell. If my memory serves me correctly they were less than 5.00 each.
They also have quite the assortment all types of commercial equipment
from knives, stainless serving utensils, tongs, hotel pans, aprons,
commercial aluminum (some coated with the super supra stuff) some
stainless large stock pots ($$$), cleaning agents, grill weights and
scrubbers, ad nasum...
Prices seem to be fair, or less expensive than the local Lechmere
or Sears or whatever.
No Calaphon, though...

| For Christmas, my boyfriend received from his brother a chef's hat
and an apron that looks like a tuxedo shirt and cumberbund (you
wear it over a white dress shirt). It was purchased at Bradlees
and came together as a set. We thought it was cute and he says
he can't wait for the summer time barbeques so he can wear it. :-)
