Our Culinary Partners
Our team of world reknowned talent.
“At the core of everything I do is a love for food and spreading that love to others! In recent years, I’ve pursued various opportunities to expand the reach of my culinary creations beyond the four walls of my restaurants through platforms that allow customers to enjoy my meals at home. While these services are convenient, they often compromise on quality and freshness by the time the food reaches a customer.
When I got introduced to the FoodHaul™ team, I knew this wasn’t just another platform. They prepared my signature dishes through their proprietary process that captured my quality and freshness like the meal had just been prepared at one of my restaurant kitchens.
I’m such a believer in what FoodHaul™ is doing that I’m playing an active role in their expansion as a Board member and Culinary Advisor. I highly recommend FoodHaul™ to any of my foodie fans who are looking for a better way to enjoy my culinary creations at home.“
