*-To prevent any stray hair from their head from

A chef hat, also sometimes referred to
as a toque-blanche, is part of a chef's uniform. The brimless chef hat covers
the entire head of hair to eliminate any
stray hair from falling into the dishes
being prepared. Traditionally, a chef hat
is quite tall, from 9 to
12" (228-305mm), which has vertical pleats that run around the body of the
hat. Made of either stiffly starched
fabric, mostly cotton and cotton blends, or of paper, the chef hat can come in
either white or black. Several versions of the origin of the
chef hat prevail. One story goes that the
chef for King Henry VIII was going bald and was beheaded after the king found
a hair in his soup. Henceforth, all royals
chefs were required to wear a chef hat. Another tale states the chef hat came
about during the time of the ancient
Assyrians. Because a common method
of the day for overthrowing an
unpopular monarch was to poison him,
only the most loyal and trusted men were allowed to become court chefs. As
acknowledgement of their lofty
position, chefs were allowed to wear a
crown of sorts. Fashioned after the style
of crown the king wore, the ribs on the
side of the king's crown were depicted by pleats on the crowns of the chefs. Traditional versions of the chef hat
always include one hundred pleats. In
keeping with the Assyrian hat theory , it is said that the reason a chef hat had
one hundred pleats is because a master
chef knew how to prepare eggs one
hundred different ways. In that time
and part of the world, eggs were
considered to be symbol for the universe, and as such were highly
regarded. In today's world, not all chef hats hav

Friend,

An army General and Brigadier , Troupe member wear different caps for Easy identification.

Similarly the Chefs have a White Long cap to identify them easily even by children.

It in a way prevents their hair falling into the preparations too , and the white colour I hope Indicates the Cleanliness and the Purity the maintain.

Let us understand so.

I'm thinking the one with the pleats on the top, think it originated in England. It is supposed to have 100, ND THE 100 represents 100 things to do with an egg?
