CAFÉ Talks Episode 66

Look in a mirror. Are you proud of the image you portray in the kitchen? The chef’s uniform carries generations of tradition, standards of excellence, history, and pride. How we present ourselves has much to do with how we act, perform our duties, and how others perceive us as professionals. Serious culinarians are fully cognizant of the power of the uniform. 

The knives that we hold in our hands, those sharp blades that are an extension of our hands, the workhorses of the kitchen, and the deliverer of acquired skill are personal and representative of the profession that each cook represents.

Join CAFÉ Talks for a discussion with a consummate entrepreneur who, as a chef, knows how important these two tools are to every career cook. Chef Kim de la Villefromoy of Mercer Culinary talks about building his uniform business and then partnering with one of the most respected knife companies in the country. It is service that sets them apart.
