Chefs Sharing Kitchens
Updated: Apr 9
“Let’s Collab” seems to be a term used by millennials who have figured out the power of collaborating with like-minded individuals and using it to everyone’s advantage. With that said, chefs seem to have taken note, and we’ve been absolutely honored to witness four legendary chef collaborations.
In addition to giving guests an amazing opportunity to indulge in an experience created by not one, but two legendary chefs, these collaborations are an amazing marketing opportunity for restaurants, and create a massive buzz. Industry fanatics and foodies alike are given the opportunity to check off eating the creations of two renowned chefs in one sitting. That’s bucket list goals.
