Service Ideas FINUM HOT GLASS No rest for the busy. Coming off last year’s many new product launches, Libbey Foodservice steps the tempo up to an even higher level with the launch of their new Artistry Collection. This new, top-tier hospitality tabletop array features world class tabletop brands such as Schonwald dinnerware, Spiegelau and Nachtmann glassware, and Reed & Barton flatware. Libbey Foodservice has introduced their Artistry Collection to their North American customers to inspire restaurant chefs who want to create true fine dining masterpieces. This wide assortment of inspiring products does much more than simply look pretty….they are exclusive pieces that have been artfully selected for creative versatility and uncompromising performance within a hospitality setting.
In the 2014/2015 competition as well, Villeroy & Boch provided the official competition plates. The round plates with a diameter of 31.5 cm from the successful collection “Affinity” offered the chefs plenty of space to present their sophisticated dishes thanks to its large size. In addition to the current competition plates this year once again there was a Bocuse d’Or collector’s plate from Villeroy & Boch in limited edition for all par-ticipants of the competition as well as guests of the gala dinner on the night of the final. The special décor comes from the brush of the French artist and designer Alain Vavro, who has been developing the décor for the collector’s plates since 1995, which is personally approved by Paul Bocuse.
The Villeroy & Boch Hotel & Restaurant Division has been closely connected to the world-renowned cooking competition for many years. Villeroy & Boch is a Membre associé du Bocuse d’Or and has been producing the popular Bocuse d’Or event plates for many years
We’re honored to have Warren Bobrow as a contributor, with his true asset to TabletopJournal readers his expertise to articulate the importance of and exactly how to create an elevated beverage experience. With the imagination of an artist and the pallet of a chef, Warren uses each piece of the cocktails to paint a story with the glassware as his centerpiece. On the verge of quenching the thirst of 350 people in the South Hamptons with his latest list of potent creations, Warren took the time to chat with us about his experience. When asked about the importance of glassware, Warren stressed that: “Quality is paramount. I love nothing else more than going to an antique store and finding a retro design that fits the style of the drink. Glasses have memories… a soul”. It’s not Warren’s resolve to simply make a great drink; it is the overall experience of the guest enjoying the drink. While on this sojourn of the senses, he emphasizes the moral imperative to have the correct glass for each drink. We could not agree more…. Look for Warren's first composition on the importance of the properly crafted cocktail later this week in our People section.

Like chefs, Degrenne crafts shapes and materials for all its tabletop products while paying particular attention to the notions of usage and aesthetics in order to make time spent at the table a moment dedicated to gastronomic pleasures and emotions, from the most simple to the most elaborate. In its porcelain for example, the sheer sensory pleasure of drinking tea and coffee is further enhanced by the aesthetic nature of the experience. Adopting the same approach, Degrenne offers a wide selection of cups, teapots and coffeepots designed to intensify the taste and enjoyment of connoisseurs, no matter when or where it is served.
