I ordered myself chef's jackets today. Enough to get me through the week plus a couple extra. When I cooked at Emerson, there was a stack of jackets for anyone working in the kitchen (it was also my work-study job to mend all the jackets). Ever since then, an apron is just not good enough if I'm going to spend the day up to my elbows in food.
I'm about to embark on week 2 as cafe cook/manager, and am still feeling excited and grateful (and a little stressed). We have three different conferences already lined up for catering as well, so things are already taking off and growing. Can't wait for the leaves to do the same!
