Child Chef Costume

Culinary Genius

As a tiny tot, your kiddo got a play kitchen as a toy; you were just hoping they'd keep busy while you prepared dinner. Years later, it's basically the other way around. Your kid is often trying to keep you busy and out of the kitchen while they whip up culinary masterpieces. They binge watch cooking shows, have a refined palate, and know their gorgonzola from their blue cheese. Your little one can sear, sautee, simmer, steam, and even sous vide. One thing is clear to you by this point: the kitchen belongs to your kid, and you're just the sous chef.

C'mon—it could be worse! Most parents dream of coming home from a long day at work to sit down to a home-cooked, three-course meal (though lately, your child's been really into tasting menus). You may as well give your kid this Child Chef Costume and hang up your apron. There can only be one boss in the kitchen, and we hate to say it, but your little one's got the edge on you! 

Fun Details

It'll be easy to spot their authority when they're buttoned up in this classic chef's shirt with gingham cuffs, a short, stand-up collar, and black piping. The black and white gingham pants are a staple in any kitchen, and look professional against the white toque hat. It's clear that your kid has the class and style of some of the biggest name in the cooking game. Make sure they've got a sturdy pair of close-toed shoes (clogs, if you want to be really authentic), because the hours are bound to be long. Now tell 'em to finish their homework so they can practice their mise en place (there's one we've never heard before)!

Yes, Chef

Remember, the correct answer to anything in a professional kitchen is always, "Yes, chef!" Hm. That may take some getting used to, eh? But don't worry, you're still the boss everywhere else. We think.
