We are Chefs. We are a Culinary Brain Trust with decades and decades of cumulative first class experience in the food business. We've earned all sorts of mentions from national press, and fancy pieces of paper from prestigious places of education. Our journey has taken us through small bistros, fine dining restaurants, farm to table dinners, grand hotels, boutique delis, and at the helm of some of America's best eateries -to- QSR, B2B, and CPG food innovation for some of the world's biggest brands. Chances are you've eaten something wonderful that we've had a hand in - from outrageous new fast food and restaurant menu items, to your favorite scintillating dip, crispy snack, frozen delight, or something from the freshly prepared aisle at the grocery store.
We make good food happen, developing new products and menus, and making existing ones better. We cook with our hearts AND our hands, looking at every angle and avenue, to bring the flavors and experience of fine dining to the everyday consumer. Our approach to consulting is fully customizable on the client end, so we can meet every desire and budget. We spend a great deal of time getting to know our clients vision, needs, successes, and failures; this helps find the right pathway to success. We pull from our complex experience & industry understanding, using old school and modern techniques in synergy. We are a right-sized consultancy, typically only taking 1-2 clients or projects at a time, so your company gets the focus it deserves. We are Blue Collar Culinary.
Our pathway through Covid-19 has led us to develop innovative ways to interact with our clients; video conferencing, temperature controlled prototype shipping, and virtual tastings are just a few of the pivots we've had success with to keep our clients happy. We will always find a solution for you.
We also, from time-to-time, create bespoke private dinners. We have cooked for several celebrities, captains of industry, Hollywood stars, & professional athletes.
