Toques, the tall, cylindrical hats worn by chefs, have an interesting history and purpose! 
Traditionally, the height of a toque symbolizes the chef's rank and experience in the kitchen; taller toques indicate higher levels of skill and authority. 
The classic design, with its pleats, also serves a functional purpose: each pleat represents a different recipe or technique that the chef has mastered. 
Additionally, the height helps to keep the chef's hair away from their face and food, promoting hygiene in the kitchen. 
With their iconic shape and significance, toques have become a symbol of culinary expertise and professionalism!
