The idea was allegedly propagated by the chef for Charles Talleyrand, the first French prime minister. In the early days of French cuisine, the number of pleats were intended to represent the number of recipes a chef had mastered for a given food, like egg or chicken. Having a hat with 100 pleats meant you were a master chef. This also applied to the height of the hat. The taller the toque, the more a chef knew. If you saw a chef with a towering cap, you could be sure they were likely the head of the kitchen.

A baker's hat is called a toque. It is a tall, pleated, white hat traditionally worn by chefs and bakers in the kitchen.
The word "toque" comes from the French word "toque," which originally referred to a type of hat worn by chefs. It is believed to derive from the Latin "toga," a garment worn by ancient Romans. Over time, the term "toque" came to be associated specifically with the hat worn by chefs in professional kitchens.
