ABOUT US:
We Are Professional Kitchen Textiles ™
Chef Revival was founded 1986 in Australia by two enterprising chefs as a way to earn extra
income and satisfy a need for more comfortable and functional kitchen apparel. With a $50 sewing
machine, a roll of fabric and an $8,000 loan the company began making aprons and apparel for their
own use and sale to other chefs. “Designed by Chefs for Chefs” has been Chef Revival’s motto since
the beginning.
Chef Revival’s roots stretch even further back to 1892, when its parent company was founded in
New York City. John Ritzenthaler Company started out as an importer of the highest quality cleaning
cloths from Belgium which were branded “RITZ Cloths” and sold only to better department stores
and fine specialty retailers.
John Ritzenthaler Company entered the world of commercial foodservice in 2011 with the acquisition
of Arden Benhar – a maker of high-quality professional kitchen textiles: culinary towels, aprons for
the front and back of the house and best in class temperature protection products. In 2018, Chef
Revival was acquired for its exceptional quality apparel and highly respected name, making the line
a one stop shop for all kitchen textiles.
Chef Revival is the Industry Standard for Professional Kitchen Textiles™.
