Demo and Event Chef for Equipment Brands
Equipment sells when people taste what it does. Brands hire me to cook live at trade shows, showroom events, dealer trainings, and product launches, and to train their sales teams to sell from a culinary perspective.
It is the work I did inside the industry for nearly a decade, now available freelance.
What brands get
-
Live cooking demos that hold a crowd and make the equipment the hero
-
Event and trade show cooking, from intimate showroom evenings to national show floors and TV.
-
Sales team training: your people learn to talk about the product the way a chef does, which is the way buyers believe
-
Recipe and content development built around your equipment, including food styling and photography direction, from my years working inside a marketing department directing photo and video shoots
Beyond the grill
At Lynx and across the Middleby residential portfolio, I cooked on pizza ovens, flat tops, ranges and ovens, and French top ranges from La Cornue and Viking, not only grills. If your event cooks on it, I can run it.
Why me
Nearly a decade as Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Development at Lynx Grills under Middleby, and brands still hire me back for their events. Recurring recipe and video work for Wildfire Outdoor Living. U.S. Brand Ambassador for Josper. I know how a showroom floor works, how dealers think, and what a buyer needs to taste before they sign.
