Chef's protective garment (5)

I believe the answer is:

apron

(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "Protective garment (with strings attached!)" , "Paved area where aircraft are parked" , "something befitting kitchen-sink drama?" , "Aircraft parking area" , "Area for aircraft not in use" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
