Introducing the new Entegra Culinary Guild

People are at the very core of our industry, followed closely by the food we prepare. Entegra recognizes that tapping into the human element and expertise within our operator community has been a key facet of our success as an organization for many years. Now, the Entegra Performance Kitchen aims to open dialogue further and cross-functionally create solutions for our operators in 2023, with the new Entegra Culinary Guild.

In early Q3 of 2022, we began recruiting and selecting the first wave of culinarians to actively participate in the Entegra Culinary Guild. Our selection process was simplified as we went directly to operators and requested their nominations for participant chefs. Now, throughout the year, the Guild will host the honored, chosen chefs at multiple gatherings, with the goal of gaining a greater understanding of how our culinary professionals see the culinary landscape changing, and how Entegra can help them successfully navigate those changes.

A unique future element of the Guild will be a cross-segment competition focused on the second echelon in the kitchen hierarchy, the sous chef. These up-and-coming chefs are the future of flavor, prized for their tenacity and creativity in today’s food theater. Through the competition, we hope to highlight the chosen sous chefs’ bright culinary futures, while bringing joy to the included competitors and winners.

Watch for more details on the fast-paced competition in mid2023, and keep an eye out for news of further Guild events and initiatives throughout the year.
