Cook Up a Last Minute Halloween Costume
Still trying to figure out what costume you'll wear this Friday? One simple idea is to dress up as a chef or baker. Simply tie on an apron, grab a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon, and you're off to the races. If you want to get fancier, the possibilities are endless. Wear shorts under your apron and don a pair of orange Crocs and a red wig (with ponytail) to disguise yourself as Mario Batali. Curl your hair and slip on a chef's jacket with the Top Chef logo embroidered on it to become Chicago's own Stephanie Izard. Restaurant supply stores often carry chef's clothing - black and white checked pants, toques and baker's caps - which can help you really pull off the look.
