The tall hat is called a 'toque' (pronounced 'toke') and they were introduced in the late 1800's by Auguste Escoffier, 'The Chef of Kings and the King of Chefs'. This was to allow air to circulate around the head. He also changed the design of kitchens, moving them from the basement to the restaurant level. Only pompous idiots wear them now, as their is more than adequate heat extraction in any decent kitchen.

Answer 6

Toque: French term for a chef's tall white hat. (pronouced 'tock')

Answer 7

I think it's "Toque" (pronounced tock).

Apparently the taller the hat the better qualified the chef, but I am not at all sure on this one really.

Answer 8

Actually, I believe it is called a "toque", but there are different styles of "toques". I don't know the name for that particular style, but I think calling it a "toque" would still be correct. (just like you can call a "beret" or a "cap" a "hat", they're hats, just specific styles of hats.)

(I'm pretty sure the "bouffant" is a sytle of "toque" also, but I could be mistaken on that...)

Answer 9

They say each fold of the hat represents one way you can cook an egg... I always liked that.... i spell it toque.
