Father’s Day Gifts: Time is Running Out!

by on June 9, 2013 in Holidays

Fathers DayThe clock is ticking… there’s only one week left until Father’s Day (if you’re not aware, it’s next Sunday, 6/16)! Are you tired of getting dad the same old gifts like ties and tools? Doesn’t he deserve something a little more fun and personal this year? Still not sure what to get him? How about a new chef uniform, with his name embroidered on it? He’ll be able to show off to family and friends at barbecues or family get-togethers, and he’s sure to be the life of the party.

It’s getting hotter out there, so be sure to check out a short sleeved chef coat for those hot summer days out by the grill. If you can’t find what you’re looking for there, go to our men’s chef coat department, you’re sure to find the right gift for the occasion.

Memorial Day: Remembering the Lost

by on May 27, 2013 in Holidays

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day in which we remember those who lost their lives in service to our country. However, in light of recent events, we feel that we should also honor and remember the 3 Boston Marathon victims, the 24 Oklahoma Tornado victims, and the 28 Newton school shooting victims, as well as everyone else who lost their lives due to a tragedy like these.

With that in mind, Memorial Day in recent years has become more than simply honoring and remembering people who have perished. It has also become a day in which we gather with family and friends and celebrate that togetherness. But it is important to not lose sight of the true purpose of the day. So, this Memorial Day, while you man the BBQ in your chef coats and cook for your friends and relatives, don’t forget to remember why we have this holiday in the first place: To honor the fallen.

The 2013 NRA Show in a Nut Shell

by on May 17, 2013 in Food Events, General Chef Talk

It’s finally here! The National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, Illinois stars tomorrow, May 18th, and goes on until Tuesday, May 21st. If you’ve never been to one of these shows before, imagine a giant convention all about food. Recipes, products, demonstrations, innovations, you name it. What could be better, right? This year, expect to see over 1,800 suppliers and tens of thousands of buyers all gathering for the event of the season. And speaking of seasoning…

Get ready to see demonstrations from some of your favorite celebrity chefs and restaurateurs, connect with exhibitors and learn about new processes in the industry, listen to presentations from some of the top people in the hospitality field, check out some cool food sculptures, and of course, even sample some delicious dishes.

Two years ago, a certain celebrity came over to visit our booth from a T.V. show that will remain nameless (though it does go well with dip), and ended up wearing our chef coat all day!

‘Twas a treat before Christmas…

‘Twas the night before Christmas in the gingerbread house,

Gingerbread House

All the cookies were baking, and shaped like a mouse!

Mouse Cookies

The stockings were made from Rice Krispies and icing,.

Rice Krispies Stocking

And there were Santa Crackers, Oh so enticing!

The piggies were snug in their blankets and beds,

Pigs In Blanket

While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.

And mamma in her ‘kerchief and the pretzels in their caps,

.Santa Pretzels

And cheese shaped like snowmen was made with a snap..

When on the computer there arose such a clatter,

I ran in my chef coat (which was covered with spatter).

Away to ChefUniforms.com I flew like a flash,

And bought a new chef coat while saving some cash!

The website has chef coats and chef pants galore,

And an assistant to find what you’re looking for.

They’ve got aprons, hats and shoes for your feet,

Happy Holidays to all, and to all “Bon Appétit”!

Attention, food-lovers! Do you love free food and wine tastings and cooking demonstrations? Will you be in South Florida between November 8th and the 11th? Then you need to check out the first annual Flavors of Fort Lauderdale. The event will take place in Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Marina, and there will be over 35 different restaurants preparing their signature dishes for guests. But that’s not all! ChefUniforms.com has agreed to sponsor this event by way of donating our signature chef coats to the cause.

Twelve chefs will be participating and will be wearing our coats, and you get to see them in action, first-hand! Some will be wearing the Chef Uniforms style 63313, a traditional chef coat with underarm vents, and made with 100% cotton for maximum breathability. Others chose 83113, another traditional chef coat that contours to provide a more flattering fit for women.

On Sunday you can see the “Ambassador of Flavor”, the event’s Master of Ceremonies, Chef Allen Susser in his new uniform (below), an Uncommon Threads Egyptian cotton chef coat.

The Flavors of Fort Lauderdale Event is a celebration of the culinary lifestyle and is open to anyone who has an appreciation for good food and fun. Many local and regional restaurants will be participating, as well as many great chefs from the area. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit a South Florida Charity called Feeding South Florida. This charity is a not-for-profit organization that helps to provide food and other grocery products to people in need, as well as to educate and engage the community in the fight against hunger and poverty.

But before the weather outside becomes frightful, how about a nice cool treat? This year, kicking off the first day of fall is National Ice Cream Cone Day.

Let the Games Begin!

by on July 27, 2012 in Uncategorized

It’s that time again, folks! The Olympics are back, and it’s time to start rooting for your favorite country to bring home the gold. This year’s opening ceremony will be full of entertainment, as it was thought up by famed directors Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and Stephen Daldry (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close). Much of today’s events have been kept a secret, but what we do know is that Big Ben will sound the start of the opening ceremony. This is significant, as it will be the first time that Big Ben has rung outside of its normal schedule since 1952, when King George VI died. In another significant turn of events, a bell on board the Queen Elizabeth II (which is carrying the Olympic flame as part of its final journey to the stadium) started ringing at 8:12 am (London time) today. This was to mark the final 12 hours before the 8:12 pm start of the opening ceremony – or 20:12 in military time. Cool, huh?

This event is sure to be as star-studded as ever, with reports of Paul McCartney performing with Bruce Springsteen have surfaced, as well as rumors of Daniel Craig bringing back his 007 alter-ego for the occasion.

As exciting as the events are to watch, it’s too bad there isn’t a World’s Best Chef Cook-off; I’d be sure to tune in to see all of the participants wearing their chef coats! What’s your favorite Olympic event? Leave a comment and let us know!

Culinarians Day

by on July 25, 2012 in Chef Uniforms, Holidays

Today is Culinarians Day! This is an especially important holiday for our readers, since it’s actually about you! Today, we celebrate all of the cooks in our lives. Not just the professional chefs (though they certainly qualify), but anyone and everyone who loves to cook. So how does one celebrate Culinarians day? Simple, just do what you do best – cook! Today, make something special for your loved ones, or perhaps cook up something for your favorite culinarian!

Another way to celebrate this great holiday is to buy yourself (or your favorite culinary artist) the gift of a new chef uniform (insert shameless plug here). What better way to say “I appreciate you and love when you cook for me” then an embroidered chef coat, with your loved one’s name emblazoned on the front? Or perhaps a new pair of chef pants, because you noticed the old ones are covered in (what you hope is) grease. Maybe a pair of non-slip chef shoes, for those who just can’t seem to stay on their feet? We’ve got it all, so just hop on by ChefUniforms.com and choose the ensemble that’s right for you!

Happy Culinarians Day!

A National Chocolate Pudding Day Recipe: Fun for the Kids!

by on June 26, 2012 in Featured Recipe, Holidays, Recipes

In honor of National Chocolate Pudding Day, I wanted to post something fun for the young ones (and the young-at-heart). This is a dessert recipe that is just as fun to make as it is to eat, and it’s so simple, your kids can do it themselves!

(Warning: This may get a little messy, so you might want to throw a few paper towels down, and let the little chefs wear your chef coat.)

Cup of Dirt

Servings: 2

Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Pudding: 2 cups. (Either make your own or grab a couple of Snack Packs, either way is fine!)
  • Oreos: 8
  • Gummy worms: 5-6

Method

  1. Crush up the Oreos the best you can, and try to break all of the bigger chunks up. Some people like it to be a fine powder, while others prefer it a little chunky.
  2. Mix about 1/3 of the crushed Oreos with the chocolate pudding in a bowl.
  3. Pour the pudding into two cups and top each off with the rest of the crushed Oreos.
  4. Throw in some gummy worms.
  5. Enjoy!
