Your Chef Uniform



>our values | your chef uniform | uniform policy | hand washing, food handling & sampling

At J&W, we treat you like a professional from day one when you arrive and first put on your chef's uniform. A clean, pressed uniform tells the world "I am a professional Chef."
In wearing the chef whites with pride, you symbolically enter the brotherhood of culinarians, and prepare yourself to continue a centuries old tradition.

A Johnson & Wales culinary education places a high value on professionalism. We share a deep belief and firm conviction that starting down a path to attain the highest expression of culinary professionalism begins with the uniform.

Chefs who compromise their uniform, compromise their professionalism; compromises that soon spread to their mise en place, their cuisine, their customer service, their sense of team spirit, and ultimately, to their personal commitment to excellence in their career.

Johnson & Wales Culinary students are required to wear their uniforms during all academic, lab, and experiential education activities.
