Industry partners

The most direct way to know Charleston's kitchens.

Chefs choose the products, equipment and services their kitchens run on. The chapter puts you in the room with them, in a setting built for real conversation, not a trade-show aisle.

Who partners

If chefs buy it, use it or hire through it.

Partners have hosted chapter meetings in Charleston before, from produce operations to broadline distributors.

  • Food distributors
  • Farms & producers
  • Equipment companies
  • Hotels & resorts
  • Restaurant groups
  • Culinary schools
  • Hospitality services
  • Event partners
