Well, we certainly do live in a sunburnt country with drought and flooding rains.... and heat and more heat. The recent high temperatures across the states have brought a lot of new customers to us. Chefs in particular wanting to get out of their European traditional jackets. It just doesn't make sense to wear a uniform meant for cold northern winters in our sunny climes. It's more a punishment than a uniform. I was recently in the kitchen of one of Victoria's most awarded cafes where the chefs regularly melt into unconsciousness (seriously - passing out is an occupational hazard in this kitchen) The guys are now decked out in our tees and are looking a whole lot happier. Many thanks to Gizmo and your crew, Sarah J from Newcastle and Sara B from Perth for putting the Kitchen Couture stamp right across your kitchens.
Passing out from the heat in a kitchen has always been a fairly common occurrence in Queensland and the NT. (We've worked in some of those hottest kitchens - trust us!) With global warming creeping up on us, it's time to take a serious look at getting all our hard working chefs, kitchen hands and dishies into something far more suitable.Of course flaming your wok like as below really doesn't help matters!
