Sous Vide Vegan Chicken? Daring Foods Is Bringing It to Restaurants Daring Foods’ vegan chicken gets the sous-vide treatment under new partnership with Cuisine Solutions, making it an even more attractive plant-based protein option for foodservice operators.

We take collaboration very seriously. In fact, our role is more than just a supplier, we’re an extension of your kitchen. Our partners are trusting us with their name, so we commit to delivering the best product possible.

In our current collaboration with Firehouse Subs, our CSO Chef Gerard Bertholon worked extensively with Chef Jay Miller, Firehouse Subs Director of Product Development on the creation of their new Prime Rib Steak Sub.

Through experimentation and craftsmanship, the two chefs developed the right amount of seasoning, brining, searing and sous vide to create the most appetizing prime rib steak.

"What makes a steak great isn't just the chef that prepares it – it's the cut, the care and time that goes into bringing out the flavor," said Miller. "That meant working very closely to make sure we developed the correct recipe and cooking method that resulted in a consistent, elevated product that creates an exceptionally high-end sub."

Stop by any Firehouse Subs location to try this delicious new Prime Rib Steak Sub and visit our website to learn more about the collaboration process. https://cuisinesolutions.com/

Can you believe it’s been one month since we opened our sous-vide centric Taffer's Tavern franchise in Washington, D.C.?

When Eater Washington DC asked Jon Taffer about his “kitchen of the future” centering on sous-vide products, he shared, “We do anything any other kitchen would do. We just do it in a more high technology way.”

Also shared by Eater, “Taffer says the innovative setup reduces his back-of-house labor costs by 50 to 60 percent, eliminating much of the staffing bottlenecks that plague other restaurants.”

You can even enjoy a sous vide-prepared browned butter rye whiskey cocktail aptly named, The Campfire.

We are so proud to see our products in action with this innovative new concept. Stop by and get the full experience for yourself! 700 6th Street NW, next to Capital One Arena.
