Hedley & Bennett is the LA-based and female founded culinary lifestyle brand that outfits the best chefs, home cooks, and makers in the world. In 2012, Founder/CEO Ellen Bennett, while working as a line cook, was inspired to create a “better apron” that would impart a sense of pride and dignity in all who wore them. It turned out the idea was revolutionary, and soon the likes of Dave Chang, Nancy Silverton, Martha Stewart, and chefs across the country were wearing the signature Hedley & Bennett ampersand (&). Continuing their mission to marry quality, design and function, Hedley & Bennett has branched out beyond aprons to make chef-approved home kitchen essentials, from a sleek knife bag to towels, napkins, table runners and more.  Today, Hedley & Bennett can be found in 6,000+ restaurants around the world and in national and international retailers. Each product is made by hand in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. The chef aprons in today’s Food Forever Experience are courtesy of Hedley & Bennett.
