It's the funny hat. If you can maintain your dignity when wearing a
toque, you can maintain it through anything. Except, perhaps, Master
Richard the Poor of Ely and an impromptu chorus entering your kitchen
and singing the song from the opening credits of the BBC series, "Chef!"
and running out. ("I'm the best that you will find, the king of my
profession! The master of my chosen field, of that there is no question!
Serious...serious pro-fesh-unnnn, serious...serious pro-fesh-unnnn,
etc." Actually, if you ever encounter this program, it's an absolute
scream. Highly recommended, apart from the fact that it's sometimes
ineffective as satire simply because it comes too close to the realities
of the restaurant industry.)
