RIDGEFIELD, Conn., June 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc.

A recently launched campaign is highlighting the stories of innovative chefs reopening dining across the country.

New York and Los Angeles are two diverse cities with a myriad of differences in culture and cuisine. What unites the chefs of these two cities is an uncompromised commitment to quality. As part of the Welcome Back Campaign the Chefs Warehouse had the opportunity to meet with executive chef Danny Ye ofCatch LA, one of the trendiest sea and land-based restaurants in the city. When discussing how he became a chef, Mr. Ye brought up the privilege of growing up as the eldest child of immigrant parents. The fusion of American and Chinese cultures gave him an appreciation for how food unites disparate people. Food was everything and I became a chef because of this capacity to connect others and create memories.

Another featured chef, Jack Logue of Tribeca Kitchen, shares Danny Yes passion for using great food as a vehicle for unity. His personal story emphasized a lifelong love of hospitality which could not be achieved without the right building blocks.

These two chefs,and thousands of other chefs, trust the reputation the ChefsWarehouse has established in its 35 year plus history providing the worlds greatest ingredients.
