 The Straight Dope Mailbag: What's the origin of the chef's hat?
Some say the toque can be traced back to the seventh century A.D., when chefs were considered learned men (remember that "epicurean" derives from the name of a Greek philosopher, Epicurus).
Learned men didn't always get the respect they deserved, though, and were often persecuted; at such times, they often took refuge in the local church, where they donned the same costumes that the local clergy were wearing, hats and all, as a disguise.
The crown-shaped ribs of the royal headdress became the pleats of the toque, originally sewn, and later stiffened with starch.
