We’ve talked about elevating bread service before and we continue to believe that is an area of opportunity for restaurateurs. Well, Greece’s The Glass Company reminds us that improving the butter presentation also is an important addition to the dining presentation. The Glass Company has a wide variety of small serving piece options for highlighting your butter. Butter is the perfect pair of bread and it definitely deserves an equally cool presentation. Present butter on special small plates, small bowls or use a bread and butter plate. While The Glass Company has a huge range of standard items, these artisans can create virtually anything that your mind can imagine. And, what better way to add value to a dining experience for your dining guests? Whether your concept is casual or a bit more formal., The Glass Company designs can take your bread and butter service from boring and mundane to exciting and interesting. And, not to worry.....they don't neglect the serving pieces for the bread itself. The Glass Company has a plethora of bread serving options, as well. No need to be boring here! From standard to custom-designed, The Glass Company can create the perfect piece to enhance your bread service.

http://lesartistes-paris.fr/site_v3/en/gobelet-ondule-mug-25ctrl-porcelaine/ The just completed International Chef's Congress put on by StarChefs was the 9th edition and was held at the Brooklyn Expo Center. While, if not for Google's GPS, I might still be looking for the venue, I am certainly glad I found it. Celebrity chefs galore, incredible foods and beverages to sample, a great vibe....and, some interesting tabletop....all made it a trip very worthwhile. For foodies - both professional and non-professional, this had to be nirvana. With rockstar celebrity chefs like Grant Achatz and Food TV stars like Ted Allen roaming the floor, there was something for everyone who is into food in one way or another. There were also rockstar tabletop companies like Steelite, Front of The House, and Churchill there, as well. So, as we say.... something for everyone - even for the chef looking to take their guest dining experience to another level by improving their tabletop!
The artistry the we witnessed Chef Niki Nakayama from LA's N/Naka Restaurant do on the Catherine Hurand glass plates from Steelite was pure pleasure....especially when you watched the faces of each of guests she served.
So, while were not sure where next year's version of StarChef's International Chef's Congress is slated to take place, you can be sure it will be on our calendar. the question will then be....with all this - why isn't it on yours?
