Chef Brockett wore this hat and apron, one of many sets, on the show. Chef Brockett appeared in early episodes of the show as the owner/operator of Brockett's Bakery. Don suffered from the effects of polio and the show did not shy away from discussing his disability. Fred made a point of having people on the show who used leg braces, wheelchairs and other aids in order to destigmatize disability for children.
