At Chef Works, fashion is our passion. It’s why we’re the global leader in culinary and hospitality apparel with distribution in more than 80 countries. But we’re just as committed to making garments that are durable and functional, which is why we’ve worked with industry leaders and culinary influencers for decades to make the gear that chefs, waitstaff and other hospitality workers crave. Are you passionate, creative and like-minded? Connect with us! Chef Works started as a uniform manufacturer for the coal mining industry in the 1960s. More than five decades later, our story continues to be written. Despite our growth, we’re still rooted in the same family-owned-and-operated charm and customer-focused principles we established all those years ago. With a domestic headquarters in San Diego and corporate offices around the world, Chef Works has achieved an unrivaled, global reach. We’ve crafted line after line of apparel that is durable, functional and fashion-forward. We dress a diverse range of clients, including back of the house, waitstaff, international hotel chains, award-winning restaurants and bars, culinary schools, food service companies, laundries, assisted-living facilities and upscale cinemas. Try us on for size. We think you’ll find us to your taste.
