This year saw a lot of changes when it comes to food — not only how we consume it, but how we eat out, eat in and who actually does the cooking.
No doubt, the culinary community rallied together during a difficult 2020. But lots of food enthusiasts and home cooks also turned to their own kitchens when some of their favorite restaurants went on hiatus.
To the chefs, servers, bartenders, baristas and all other front-line culinary and hospitality workers, we say thank you for all you did in 2020. For those who picked up a cookbook for the first time in a decade and tried some things on your own, we applaud you. Cooking isn’t easy.
If there’s a chef or server you know who made a difference in your life and you want to thank them this holiday season, consider one of the items from our holiday gift guide. But if you mastered your backyard grill over the last seven months and want to wear what the pros wear, there’s some gear on here for you too.
Happy holidays!

MEMPHIS CHEF’S BIB APRON
This one is for the pit masters, backyard smokers and grilling goliaths. The cotton denim look is timeless, which is one of the reasons Memphis instantly became a best-seller. But don’t take our word for it, Heavy listed it on their “55 Best Gifts for Chefs: The Ultimate List.” Worth noting that was the only piece of culinary apparel on their list. Memphis comes in more than just a Chef’s Bib. There are five styles in the Memphis Family.
SPRINGFIELD CHEF COAT
The Springfield Chef Coat is a best-seller for lots of reasons. For starters, the short sleeves and zip-front make it extremely comfortable and convenient. It has our award-winning Cool Vent™ fabric panels filtering out hot air. But it’s also the individual cuts for men and women and wide range of colors that make Springfield a favorite. Be sure to check out our entire range of Cool Vent™ items here.
SEERSUCKER SHIRT
Question for servers, bartenders and other front-of-house staff: Has your work shirt ever been your favorite shirt? It might be with the new Seersucker. Part of our Contemporary Collection, it has a banded collar, snap front and can be dressed up or down – depending on whether you’re serving drinks or getting drinks. Cuts are available for women or men.
GRAMERCY EXECUTIVE CHEF COAT
Unknow what you think you know about an executive chef jacket. The Gramercy has all of the classic features, but reimagined in a long-sleeve, 100 percent cotton gem. There are lots of executive features without the three-figure executive price point. We also have a Women’s Gramercy that offers a more feminine fit.
