Two of my friends have just taken over the management of a small inn, and their chef and his wife recently had a baby boy. They'd like to buy the baby some cooking-themed clothes. I've already pointed them toward our fabulous eG apparel, but am wondering if anyone knows of some other sources?

I think they'd love a shirt that says "Charlie Trotter, Jr." - or something of that variety. Any ideas?

Not Charlie Trotter, but if they're also New Yorkers, they'd appreciate this.

P.S. The same Web site has many relevant alternatives, though the Bacon bib isn't quite as cute.

Adorable.

Megan -- do you embroider or know someone who does? A chef's name in a simple outline stitch would be the work of a few minutes.

Thanks for the ideas, guys...these are all excellent. It's amazing how cute a toque becomes when it's miniature. :wink:

Maggie, I don't embroider (though I sew a mean patch and a secure button), but that's a really good idea. One of the friends involved is quite creative and crafty, and he might be able to pull something off.

Do you want exclusively cooking-themed, or is food-themed okay? I was just in the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory tonight and they have some really tiny shirts for sale. That's got to be cooler than a Charlie Trotter shirt.

Food-themed is probably ok, too...I've told my friends all about the thread I started in their honor...thanks, you guys, for all the awesome suggestions!!
