When Chef Bryan left New York in 2007 to guest-chef for three months at a restaurant called 2941 near Washington D.C., it was with little fanfare.

It’s a surprising career move for Bryan, a humble operation seemingly below a chef of his ilk. But his work here shows his versatility and sensitivity to the changing climate for restaurants.

The styles offered by S.F.C. vary. They carry athletic shoes, pumps, professionals, clogs, and steel-toed boots. Their prices are reasonable, ranging from $27-$77.
A new pair of work shoes is always a worthwhile investment for anyone in the industry, and it's not worth getting spaghetti sauce on your Pradas.
