Where Chefs, Ideas, And Innovation Come Together
Our PMR Demo Kitchen is more than a place to test equipment, it’s where the foodservice industry connects, collaborates, and creates.
We’re proud to host guest chefs and industry partners for special events, education, and hands-on experiences.
Most notably, we welcomed Chef Joey Ward, Michelin-recommended restaurants Southern Belle and Georgia Boy, in support of the Atlanta Chef’s Association. The event was a huge success with a fantastic turnout! We love bringing the industry together. One great event after another.
