Memorial Day is just around the corner! On Monday, May 26 the United States celebrates this federal holiday in remembrance of the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is also the unofficial start of summer!
In most parts of the country, Memorial Day is the day of the first big barbecue or cookout and more often than not, it will be a manly man being all manly and manning the grill.
What is it with guys, fire and raw meat?!
A useful and much appreciated gift for any cook or chef is an apron – and none of these silly “Kiss the Cook” joke apron, but a real, quality, professional grade chef’s apron. And for that reason, Crooked Brook is sponsoring a Chef Apron Giveaway here on Domestic Geek Girl!
This gift will also make a great Father’s Day gift for dads who like to cook!
Since 1989 Crooked Brook has designed and manufactured chef wear for the world’s most recognized men and women in the noble art and science of gastronomy. All Crooked Brook branded garments and accessories are made to order in the U.S.A and can be personalized with the customer’s choice of fabric, pockets, buttons, piping and embroidery.
This giveaway consists of:
Two, Apron Style #700 – 35” W x 25” L (approximately), made in white, 10 oz., 100% cotton denim. Depending on the height of the wearer, this apron is calf length.
Aprons were originally worn as a utilitarian outer garment to cover the front of the body to protect the wearer’s clothes from soiling, wear and tear. Over the years many different styles of aprons evolved depending on the purpose and were often named after the trade, craft or profession that used that particular design.
A chef apron is a waist apron which is a square or rectangular piece of fabric that ties around the waist to cover the body from the waist down. For a cleaner look, some chefs fold the top of the apron over the ties (see image the image above). With a pocket (sometimes divided to create a pen pocket) to hold an order pad (dupe pad) it becomes a bistro apron.
These mid-calf length “old school” heavy duty chef aprons are hard to find and are coveted by professional chefs and serious cooks alike.
Crooked Brook also makes a 35” W x 25” L apron that is perfect for grill masters who like to wear shorts and cook over an open or pit fire because the length protects bare legs from the heat.
Another good thing about these aprons is that after they are too dingy and beat up to wear in public, you can cut them up into 100% cotton rags! (Score for all you Pinterest momma’s out there!)

I would make some whole wheat bread. I grind my own flour, and while the grinder works great, and there isn’t much dust, taking the flour out of the container to put into storage, I always make a real mess, and I HAVE to wear an apron.
I would love to bake some cookies!
