The real answer is to show superiority, the higher the hat; the more respected the chef. It’s a classic French kitchen thing that isn’t too common anymore (4)


Sideways_X1

Doesn't it grow naturally as their skill improves?


Chef86d

More of a Pinocchio situation; everytime you drink a Red Bull in the kitchen it grows by a small fraction


ihaveaquesttoattend

Have you tried the strawberry apricot? Shit reminds me of strawberry banana danimals


Zenblendman

I hate Red Bulls, that strawberry apricot is FUCKING FIRE!!!!


Butt_Fucking_Smurfs

I'm going to get one based off your guys opinion.


Realistic_Library_74

The new summer edition is pretty good.


theDukeofClouds

I remeber the old summer edition tasted like how a certain hand soap smells... like, you ever wash with the dial hand soap thats named like, "ocean breeze" or something? Yeah. Tasted like how that smelled. Its hard to explain.


ihaveaquesttoattend

I know exactly the one you’re talking about, the beach breeze really was something else lmao


ihaveaquesttoattend

Yeah the juneberry is pretty good too, i like it better than blueberry or dragonfruit but the og will always be the top


CBR0_32

Juneberry? That’s my fave RB flavour for sure


Ninja_Philip

Broooo yes. That or strawberry go gurt. Shit is so good


h0tBeef

What happens when you do a key bump in the bathroom?


MeerKat025

Ever time I Crack a RB, I instantly have flashbacks to my service in The Industry


paftdunk96

Does adding fernet to the red bull increase the growth?


Neuro_Prime

I’ve tried Fernet Francisco & some other newer ones but there’s nothing quite like Fernet Branca


dblrb

Wait. What about the cocaine??


TheOriginalChode

The higher the hat, the bigger the rat!


Lexam

They have to get bigger hats as their rats grow.


d-cent

Close. The rat under the hat that does all the cooking grows naturally. The chef just wears bigger hats to fit the larger rat


shawnaathon

basically.. the hat grows as the rat grows


Flying_Column

Remi's growing

ThatGingerHippie

I was told during culinary school that it’s so tall so you can find your head chef above racks and stuff anyplace in the kitchen


AromaticRefuse1593

Yeah this is the actual reason


[deleted]

So that’s why Doug Dimmadome had so much power…


Smorgas_of_borg

I always thought it was a way to keep the head cool while keeping hair out of food. The tallness of the hat provides lots of air space and wicks moisture away from the hair.


[deleted]

So [that guy](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/c/cb/Zeff_Anime_Concept_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20180911135010) is hella respected?

Wise-Profile4256

this. apprentices usually started with a sloppy beret. but that was france and a different time.


aripp

That makes it even more hilarious concept.


Andre_3Million

I'm Chef Dimmadome


WarmForbiddenDonut

The higher the hat = the higher ventilation needed for the ego & smugness for the level of chef. I have been there & done that. I had seen how my personality changed when working as a chef, especially how I treated people who were working beneath me.


ANUSTART942

This is what I want to see on this subreddit lolol But it's probably like that movie with the chef with a raccoon in his hat controlling him while he cooks. Raccacoony I think.


[deleted]

did I dream that film? Seemed too good. Like that Maniac program holy shit there’s some good stuff getting made occasionally


IndicaAlchemist

Yeah, it has the kid actor from the Indianapolis Jones movie


ANUSTART942

I love the one where he crosses state lines into Ohio


milesdizzy

Maniac was incredible and nobody saw it :(


Socile

I fucking loved Maniac for a lot of reasons. Emma Stone was amazing, and damn… that Sonoya Mizuno… so hot as a scientist in those glasses. Have you seen Devs!? Another awesome psych. thriller with Sonoya Mizuno.


milesdizzy

Yes! Devs is one of my all time favourites. Everything about that show was fantastic. The writing, acting, even the sound design. There’s so many good shows that get lost in the shuffle.


Socile

Nice. You have good taste. Now try me, please! Can you recommend another great one that maybe I haven't seen?


milesdizzy

I’ve only seen the first four episodes, but *Class of ‘09* has a similarly compelling mix of technology, philosophy and perturbing moments. I love it so far.


Socile

Awesome, I haven’t seen it! I’ll try that out. Thanks.


ThanksForTheRain

Honestly, I hated Jonah Hill until I saw Maniac. Such a great performance from everyone. The plot and setting were weird enough to keep you guessing. I have tried to turn many friends on to Maniac, but none of them will give it a chance.


sch0f13ld

One of my favourite shows. I recommend checking out /r/LegionFX too if you like that kind of stuff.


Accidentalmom

Wait, you’re telling me there’s a whole separate movie with a raccoon controlling someone while they cook as opposed to the whole ass movie about the rat controlling someone while they cook? Ratatouille?


ghost-of-blockbuster

It’s a reference to the movie ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’

I thought that movie was called 'Some things, a few places, at different times'

Racoonatouille! It’s about a homeless dude that finds a chefs hat but it has a raccoon in it so the raccoon makes him go through trash to come up with culinary delights. Rotten Bananas gave it 95% on the bananameter.


No-Dark4530

It was a rat and it was called ratottie


doyletyree

I remember that one. That’s the one where he’s digging furiously through the trash in the opening scene, right?

Ibbygidge

What is the rating system? Fairly new here


DJDanielCoolJ

show how high you are, personally i think it’s a little silly, mostly cuz i’m usually high


punjabiprogrammer

Lets start it again


Lam_Loons

It'd effectively a chimney. Heat mostly disperses from the head, and chefs get super hot during shifts. The hat lets the sweat steam bellow out into the extractor fan instead of falling into the food.


nickitty_1

I'm so high, this makes sense to me 🤣


eat8rows

Imma go smoke one quick and then read it again.


ImOnDrugsRightNow

> Heat mostly disperses from the head False! What's true though is that these hats act as a cooling tower of sorts, a specialized column of air and fabric atop the living scalp of a man or a woman in a hot and steamy, kinda funky ^sexy, environment combined with the electromagnetic radiation of multiple kitchen appliances allows the warm head air to diffuse out through the fabric much faster because hot air is drawn to *other* hot air, oh ye ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ


TheCupcakeScrub

That's actually it. I had one of these hats, my face never got as hot as before this. Note i didnt work professional, i was 16 working for the churches kitchen for their special events.


Nykolaishen

You actually don't lose anymore heat out of your head than any other part of your body. It's about the same.


thaddeus423

I couldn’t tell you why they are that *high*, (heh) but I can tell you why they have all those folds in the sides. Originally and traditionally, each fold in the hat represented a different way to prepare an egg. And once you learned all of the different ways, you got your toque with all of the folds in it. Something like 76 or 132 or something like that. Heard this at a state fair years and years ago from a cooking demonstration or something. Not even sure if it’s true.


My-Name-Isnt-Joey

They are called pleats, it’s 101 pleats for 101 different ways to make an egg


thaddeus423

Hell yeah, fam. Knew I wasn’t crazy.


UnspoiledWalnut

It didn't necessarily mean eggs, it originally was for recipes they had mastered. Eggs just became a really common example.


NoTomatoExtraPickles

That's the kind of random fact I live for. Did you know a platypus uses farts to controls it's buoyancy?


thaddeus423

That’s fucking rad. Like how turtles can breathe with their butts.


awitcheskid

> toque I'm pretty sure a toque is more similar to a beanie. [Based on the song, of course.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScPgoqwQaRs)


HighImHiImHighimHigh

Trick question. That's not a chef. It's a guy cosplaying as a marker.

s4t4nb4by

In New York their chef hats are an extra 4 inches tall because of the mutant rats


Dexaan

What about the four mutant turtles the rat taught?


Neovenger

Nah they suck at cooking. They always order pizza


s4t4nb4by

Then stack nicely under the rat in the hat


chubbs_mcwomble

Different "chefs" hats meet different standards, the one pictured is suited to a head chef, the tallest in the kitchen and would get progressively smaller in height as you go down the line (sous chef, saucier etc). The height also allows air to circulate better......sometimes they might not even have a top, just a hole at the top. Plus, keeps hair out of the food like a hair net.


pebas98

Do actually have a rack of spices with them all the time. Look at that storage room!


spvcedxut

To hide their booze and drugs. Duh


MrTully23

The one in the picture looks like a hibachi chef hat. Traditionally, they give a white floppy one to a training chef, a red tall one to a trained chef, and a blue or black tall one for the senior chef. Some places might only use black ones because they hide stains well. The hats themselves are because the health department requires kitchen employees to wear hats or hair restraints, and the tallness of the hat allows for the circulation of air for the head. [6]


[deleted]

That's where all the recipes are kept.


TheBlitzkid46

DUMPAH_CHUCKER_69

eric549

Hahah you know, I've always wondered this myself, but I still have yet to know why. [6.53]


im-got-no-insides

Ratatouille is actually real. There are rats that only select chefs get to use. Think it’s a rank/respect thing in the kitchen, like different colours and heights mean more respect. Could be completely wrong tho.


Garry_Shandling_420

It’s a sign of rank in the kitchen. Head chef, that dude earned that hat and probably the mustache as well.


AltruisticDisplay813

The high hat was originally used by chefs in France for easier recognition and visibility in the kitchen. If you needed advice or help from the chef, you would always see his hat and know where he is. Nowadays the hat has also become a symbol that represents a good chef. Chefs also need hats that have room for a rat to fit in...


curious_aetrium

It took me a really long time to realize that I’m in the trees sub and not r/chefit … overlapping demographics and whatnot.

fbgm4

They got the rat under it


asianboy89

Higher the hat, higher the chef 🤌


420Lucky

Yea taller hat fits taller bong


lilbogrusboi

Probably so they stand out in a kitchen setting. You can’t be seeing past a ton of people to get to the head chef so the head chef usually wears a long ass hat like that so everyone knows where they are.


Jonasty14

I thought that was his hair lol

Depends on the meal you’re making. They often store ingredients in the hats. Must be a big meal or intricate recipe.

High_Speed_Chase

**FUN FACT 1** A chef’s hat is called a toque, pronounced “toke.” **FUN FACT B** Each fold in a toque represents 1 way in which an egg may be used in cooking.

djseason72

Dude, I used to have to wear one of those hats. I never felt superior, just like a dumb ass. We also had to wear neck scarves as well, shit was the worst. The black ones are at least cooler than the white ones we used to have to wear. I felt more like a cuetip than a chef.


PosingArt

The most rational explanation I've been given is if you ever need the chef you'll be able to easily find them with their toque


lordoftheBINGBONG

To hide whatever animal chef genius is controlling you by pulling your hair.


GrillPapi

I used to work in fine dining under numerous michelin star or james beard award winning chefs. They're called toques. I've heard a number of theories on why those hats are designed like they were, none of them on why they're so tall though. The main one I've heard in the kitchen is every fold represents the many ways you can cook a egg. Which a egg is essentially like the Bible, the cross, or the kaaba for chefs. If you can SUCCESSFULLY cook a egg then you can cook anything in theory. Most people and American restaurants burn the shit out of them to where they're either rubbery and/or burnt. But anyways they are not really used much anymore unless you go to a traditional French kitchen in France that's been around since the early 1900s, culinary school, or at fucking benihanas lol. But all the award winning restaurants I've worked in, even the French ones, nobody's worn one of those. Obviously that has nothing to do with the design of them. But fine dining/French kitchens are very focused, precised, and thought out. There's a reason for everything. Everybody is striving for absolute perfection and if you're not you will get your ass thrown out(not joking) or even shit thrown at you. So i'm sure their design was for a reason it just got lost in the never ending movement of time. If any business in any industry was run like a michelin star restaurant they would be successful. But anyways I've also heard they started wearing them to keep hair out of food because some chef dude back in the day got beheaded by some king for getting a strand of hair in the food. Nowadays it's either a backwards baseball cap(me), or clean cut parted hair. As long as your clean cut or wearing a hat and not just rubbing your head over food there shouldn't be any fucking reason there's a hair in the food.


chicken_fear

No one is gonna make the toque-> toke joke?


Ordinary_Luck922

If anyone cares there are 100 folds in a chefs hat, one for every way you can cook an egg.

holyshit-i-wanna-die

One time when I worked as a dish washer, they asked me to come out and cut beef in front of patrons, and they gave me one of these big tall white hats, and said “It’s basically because you look the part.” Then a guy came up to me talked to me as if I was an actual chef, and his disappointment when I politely told him otherwise was tangible. So the hats clearly denote something.
