Before a gourmet chef can say "bon appétit," he must first procure his ingredients.

The company's core customers include chefs from independent restaurants, fine dining establishments, culinary schools, hotels, and country clubs. It is a leading gourmet ingredient distributor in culinary centers like New York City, Washington, DC, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Tracing its roots back to 1985, Chefs' Warehouse went public in 2011.
