NEWARK, NJ, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Work Hard Dress Right (WHDR), New Jersey’s leading uniform store in Newark, known for providing custom work uniforms and corporate-branded apparel, honors Chef Cardie Mortimer on his 125th Culinary Therapy show and his ongoing mission to inspire through the art of cooking and community.— Ken Yanicky, Vice President, Feury Image Group
The milestone event was held at The Woodlands at Ramsey, a Springpoint senior community in northern New Jersey.
Chef Cardie’s career has taken him from executive kitchens and national television appearances to community stages where he now combines cooking, storytelling, and humor to inspire others. Culinary Therapy was born in 2011, when the chef—recovering from spinal surgery that left him temporarily paralyzed—used cooking as a form of rehabilitation. Since then, he has shared the program with thousands across healthcare, culinary and senior-living organizations.
“If I can come back, you can too,” he tells audiences. “Putting on my chef’s coat reminded me who I was—and what I was still capable of doing.”
Professional Chef Wear Builds Confidence and Credibility
In 2024, Work Hard Dress Right began supporting Chef Cardie by outfitting him with custom embroidered chef coats and personalized work clothes for support staff on his tours.
“Whenever I put on that jacket, I feel like my true self again,” he says. “It’s not vanity—it’s professionalism.”
That philosophy reflects WHDR’s mission to help people look professional, stay safe, and perform their best.
From industrial work uniforms and custom workwear to corporate logo apparel, the Newark-based company serves businesses nationwide through managed uniform programs; customization including embroidery, heat sealing, and screen printing; and creating web portals for ordering, tracking and inventory management.
Chef Wear as Workwear
Like most other workwear, chef wear is a mix of practicality and symbolism. The white double-breasted coat, first popularized in the early 1800s by French chef Marie-Antoine Carême, represented cleanliness and hierarchy. The toque blanche—the tall pleated hat—became a mark of mastery, its pleats said to represent a hundred ways to cook an egg. Today, that same attention to presentation defines how modern culinary professionals dress for success.
Uniforms That Unify Teams
Whether in restaurants, hospitals, or corporate offices, uniforms serve as powerful tools of identity. Clean, coordinated work clothes custom-made and customized for each team member foster confidence, teamwork, and trust with customers.
“When professionals feel proud of their appearance, they perform with greater pride,” says Ken Yanicky, Vice President of Marketing & Business Development at Feury Image Group, parent company of Work Hard Dress Right.
