As a 24-year-old line cook, Ellen Marie Bennett couldn\u2019t stand the kitchen staff\u2019s poorly designed, cheaply made aprons. So when her head chef announced he was ordering a new batch, she blurted out, \u201cChef, I have an apron company\u201d\u2014even though she had no company, no business plan\u2014just a glimmer of a design idea and a business license. Through hustle and a willingness to leap into the unknown, she built that first order into the company Hedley & Bennett is today, making aprons and kitchen gear worn by many of the world\u2019s best chefs and home cooks everywhere.\n\nhttps://www.hedleyandbennett.com/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/hedleyandbennett/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/ellenmariebennett/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/turningchickensbreakingdishes/\ninfo@turningchickensandbreakingdishes.com
