The Chef Peppe Hat
This is more than just a hat — it’s a tribute to the hustle behind the heat. Crafted in bold red with a classic fit and adjustable strap, embroidered with “Che Stress!” and “Ma dai, mangiamo!” on the front, it’s for those who live for the chaos and still make time to eat. On the back? A firm “Sì, Chef!”—a nod to the respect, rhythm, and fire of hospitality life.
The Chef Peppe Hat is a symbol of the sweat and commitment to the hospitality industry. This hat honors the bonds formed between front of house and back of house — over boiling pots, broken bread, slammed tickets, and last calls.
Created in collaboration with my good friend Chef Peppe, who’s fed me some of the most unforgettable meals over the last four years, this hat honors the spirit of the kitchen — where the pressure is high, the hours are long, and the work never stops.
It’s for the ones who know what it means to sweat through a double, to push through exhaustion, to live off espresso and adrenaline — and still find joy in the chaos.
It’s for those who know the chaos of a dinner rush and the calm after the last plate is served. It’s for anyone who’s ever burned their hand on a sauté pan or carrying a hot plate to a table, and still came back the next day with more heart.
“Che stress, ma dai mangiamo!” (What a stress, but come on — let’s eat!) Because no matter how hectic the shift, the job always gets done. The customers get fed. The family meal gets served. And somehow, we get through the stress and do it all again the next day.
This hat is for every chef, every line cook, every dishwasher, every server. It’s for the ones who know the beauty in the madness and the love in the labor.
Here's to those who hustle.
To the kitchen crews & the front of the house everywhere — this one’s for you.
Salute, Chef Peppe.
“Che Stress!”
Sì, Chef.
