Bright, bold, and just KENJough. Designed with celebrated chef, author, and kitchen scientist J. Kenji López-Alt, this apron brings together his signature mix of precision and play. Garment-dyed in guava pink with golden yolk straps and a white ampersand, it’s embroidered with Kenji’s favorite muse—the humble egg—in all its endlessly experimentable forms, illustrated by Keith Lowe.
Tested and approved by the man who turned home kitchens into mini food labs, it’s built for wok tossing, burger-flipping, and late-night pizza tinkering alike. Because as Kenji proves time and again, cooking’s not about perfection—it’s about curiosity, chaos, and a really good apron.
