Burning Question

Why do some chefs wear puffy hats and other chefs wear floppy hats?

I was in a restaurant a while back and I noticed there were two guys behind the counter, each wearing a chef's hat in a different way. What does this mean?

The only thing I can figure out is it must be a sign of rank. I say this because of the look of contempt on Floppy Hat Guy's face. You could just tell that when he looked at Puffy Hat Guy he was thinking "That puffy hat is rightfully mine!"

I imagined a fight breaking out between these two guys, each slapping the other with their spatulas.

I imagined coming in the next day to see Floppy Hat Guy busted down to wearing one of those sailor-type hats that a diner cook would wear.

I imagined dried ketchup still stuck in his matted hair...

Plus he had grill burns on his forehead.

I never went back the next day so I can't say if that actually ended up happening.
