Cuisine Solutions, a sous vide manufacturer, and pioneer of the method, will exhibit at the National Restaurant Association Show this May at McCormick Place at Lakeside Center hall in Chicago, at booth 10442. The international team of award-winning chefs, led by Chef Sean Wheaton, vice president of culinary, will use a ventless reheating bistro-style kitchen to showcase the company’s range of prepared sous vide products. They will demonstrate the versatility of sous vide beyond restaurants and illuminate the boundless culinary and operational applications made possible with sous vide. 

At NRA, Cuisine Solutions will feature an ever-changing menu, with options ranging from breakfast offerings like the company’s industry-shifting Sous Vide Egg Bites, as well as Chia Pudding Parfait with Berry Coulis and Fresh Berries, produced by the company’s chefs in Thailand. Lunch options will include salads such as Thai Chilled Noodles with Snow Peas, Sliced Chicken and Cashews with Thai Curry Dressing, as well as sandwiches like Roasted Turkey with Brie and Apple Chutney and Shaved Prime Rib with White Cheddar and Garlic Horseradish Aioli. Mains will be featured with choices like Mediterranean Octopus with Garlic White Beans and Tomato Confit and Wagyu Pot Roast, Wagyu brisket with Baby Vegetables and Port Wine Sauce. 

Cuisine Solutions will cater this year’s Snack Break during the Show’s Keynote with acclaimed chef, restaurateur, and humanitarian, José Andrés. Cuisine Solutions enjoys a close relationship with Andrés and World Central Kitchen. Cuisine Solutions has supported numerous WCK missions since its inception, first collaborating with Andrés  and his team during Katrina, and recently in Ukraine, where Cuisine Solutions’ Chairman Stanislas Vilgrain drove a team of trucks carrying ready-to-eat Cuisine Solutions products from France into Ukraine. Cuisine Solutions’ Chef Wheaton worked for years with Andrés at ThinkFoodGroup.
