Evolution of
Restaurants
Over
the years, the way we have dined has changed greatly. Although traditionally,
most families dined in home, industrious men and women have found ways to sell
meals. This initially got its start in roadside inns and taverns, but the
trends have changed so that modern day restaurants and catering companies are
the norm.
Evolution of Chefs
In
addition to all of these changes, the person behind the stove has also evolved.
Many modern chefs wear the traditional white double-breasted jacket, patterned
pants and tall chef’s hat, but this has not always been the case. This uniform
did not make an appearance until persecuted chefs donned similar attire to
priests in Orthodox Church monasteries. This was done in order to blend in and
escape notice of those hoping to imprison or persecute them for their
freethinking in the kitchen.
