Be sure to follow us on our social media pages to see more!

How To “Compliment Your Chef” In Your Production

Many productions have scenes taking place in a kitchen, whether it’s a domestic kitchen, an industrial kitchen, or a cramped diner’s kitchen. Each location has a feel, or taste, and the cooks, chefs, and waitresses all contribute to the look of the setting.

Below are samples of what you can create from the stock at Southeast Costume. We house a collection of aprons, chef coats, chef hats, diner waitress dresses, dining jackets, and more. Compliment your chefs with the right garments for your production.

Domestic Kitchens

Thanksgiving celebrates the coming together of families and friends to share a meal. Many people share memories of their grandmothers and mothers wearing their favorite aprons while cooking up the yearly feast. Pinafore and tea aprons of the past have made way for less frilly bib or cobbler aprons. Novelty aprons such as “kiss the cook” are a favorite for dads to wear – especially while grilling. Here we have samples of domestic chef aprons available to rent.

Industrial Kitchens

Restaurant staff costumes can set the mood of the establishment. An award winning kitchen and wait staff would be dressed accordingly. An executive chef would don a double breasted jacket and a poplin chef hat as the one pictured above. Waiters and/or maitre d’s could possibly wear tuxedo shirts paired with a dinner jacket. These two costumes set the tone of an elaborate multiple course meal in a pleasing and detailed setting.

Diner Kitchens

Some of the best food you’ll ever eat comes out of the kitchens of down-home-cookin’, side of the road, truck driver servin’, diners, drive-ins, or dive bars. Complete with gum-poppin’ waitresses and short order cooks with short tempers, these establishments give off that country charm or crowded city vibe. Diner waitresses complete with filly headband & aprons take your order and the stained apron clad line cooks push it thru at lightning speed.
