The story of Chaud Devant began with a lovely anecdote, not in ancient times, not in centuries past, as one often reads in descriptions of company foundings. The story begins less than 30 years ago, in 1993. At that time, Bianca van der Lee was working in an Amsterdam restaurant. The chef's trousers suddenly ripped while working. What could she do in the hustle and bustle of everyday kitchen life?
Bianca took it on to repair it, wondering if there were any better-looking models on the market. This unconventional approach gave rise to the idea of ​​developing modern, stylish, and professional chef's clothing.

The company owes its name to a frequently heard, loud exclamation in French cuisine: "Chaud devant!" It means, roughly, "Step aside, I have a hot plate in my hand!" or, as we say in French, "Attention! Hot and greasy."

Chaud Devant 's chef jackets have become well-known and popular in restaurant and hotel kitchens. The company's designers, based in Amsterdam, have conquered many sophisticated kitchens with their trendy look. These unusual kitchen garments are becoming more and more commonplace.
