“Common Questions
Q.When is the best time to send a New Year card to a chef?
Send it a few days before New Year's Eve. Chefs are often extremely busy during the holiday season, so an early arrival ensures they see it before the rush. Avoid December 31st itself, as they'll likely be working.
Q.Should the wish be food-related or just generally funny?
Definitely include food or kitchen humor! Chefs appreciate jokes about their world—burners, knives, picky customers, or kitchen chaos. Generic jokes might land, but chef-specific humor shows you really get their daily grind.
Q.Is it appropriate to send a funny card to my head chef at a restaurant?
Yes, if you know they have a good sense of humor! Keep it professional but playful—avoid anything offensive. A lighthearted card can build camaraderie. If you're unsure, lean toward clever kitchen puns rather than edgy jokes.
