Wear the same clothes you would've worn if it were a standard interview... someone may want to speak with you before you get changed and start working.
Come well prepared but don't bring tons of equipment.
All your knives should be very, very sharp.
You may want to bring a couple Ktowels... many restos they are in short supply and the guys you're working with may not be forthcoming.
Have a couple bandages and some Neosporin in your kit. It will draw less attention to you when you cut yourself on your newly supersharp knives.
Bring a small notepad and pen to take notes.
Bring a Sharpie so you can properly tag any prep work you do.
Listen more than you talk.
If someone asks you to do something and you are not 100% sure you know EXACTLY what is expected ask for clarification or a quick demo. You will look less a fool for not knowing how to debone a hamhock than for ruiining 10# of them.
Good luck
You will be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.
