Modern chefs still wear hats, in part for cleanliness, to keep hair out of food and to help absorb sweat. The wearing of chef hats may also be part of a chef uniform requirement set by the restaurant, industrial kitchen, hotel or cafe or simply be the chef's personal style and choice. Cooking cap is a cap designed to be worn while cooking, so the smell of food doesn't get into the chef's hair, and the chef's hair doesn't get into the food. When they put the caps on during their pitch, they claim the caps are chic, which is debatable.
