Banquet Cooking Systems » Rational Thinking
When Bixente Pery was offered the position as executive chef at the new InterContinental Buckhead in Atlanta, knowing the kitchens would be equipped with a RATIONAL banqueting system made it a sweet deal.
Once again, his talents as a chef and his skills at opening a property were in demand. He says he made the move because having the opportunity to work with RATIONAL's new SelfCooking Center along with their Combi-Steamers would be icing on the cake.
Using RATIONAL Combi-Steamers and the SelfCooking Center, Pery can meet the demands of a full-service restaurant, roomservice, and Buckhead's largest ballroom space, serving up to 1,600 banquet guests. These high speed thermal cooking units also help Pery achieve the kind of across-the-board consistency he says is unattainable with traditional cooking equipment.
Pery says RATIONAL's technology lets him begin banquet preparations a few days before the event, reducing required labor and related costs. Also, last minute changes are less stressful when so much preparation and set-up is accomplished ahead of time.
RATIONAL's banqueting system lets Pery and his staff plate many more food items, thus distinguishing the hotel in the marketplace.
"The RATIONAL SelfCooking Center gives us a competitive edge and helps us stand out," Pery points out.
RATIONAL was recently awarded the prestigious Kitchen Innovations Award from the National Restaurant Association for its Banqueting System. --SBH
