INSPIRED BY THOSE WHO LOVE TO COOK
THIS IS THE APRON SQUAD
Hedley & Bennett began with an apron and the mission to inspire and empower creativity and confidence in cooks everywhere.
It all started in a professional kitchen. Some the best chefs in the world became our teammates in cracking the code of what makes an apron more than an apron. They were our earliest customers, most rigorous product testers, and continue to help us develop and refine our entire collection to this day.
Eight years in, we brought together some of those brilliant cooks who were with us at the start to ask them what it means to wear the apron. These are our roots. This is the #apronsquad. Tie yours on and join us.

“With everything going on in the world, the dinner table is a platform for people to sit down and talk and share an experience.”
MICHAEL VOLTAGGIO, Top Chef Winner
“One thing they can’t take away
from us is the love of cooking.”
VINNY DOTOLO & JON SHOOK, Jon & Vinny‘s
“Those little moments where you smell something or remember a flavor and it brings you back to a place in time, a place in your life—there are very few things that have that power.”
MICHAEL CIMARUSTI, Providence
“I still love cooking as much as when I was cooking with my abuelita. You get to be a little kid.You get to use your imagination.”
ELLEN BENNETT, Founder of Hedley & Bennett
“The moment and practice of putting on an apron is an experience I share with all the chefs and cooks before me.”
BURT BAKMAN, Slab
“Don’t stop tying on that apron.
Keep cooking.
Keep going.
Keep dreaming. Keep doing.
Keep hustling.
The hustle is in all of us.”
