Where mixology meets artistry.

Introducing the BarGiani Collection by @steeliteusa, an elegant expression of cocktail culture designed in collaboration with Giorgio Bargiani, the acclaimed mixologist and 2023 International Bartender of the Year.

Crafted from lead-free crystal for exceptional brilliance and strength, each piece blends timeless silhouettes with modern sophistication—inviting bartenders to elevate their craft and make every pour an experience.

Because an exceptional cocktail deserves an equally exceptional presentation.

@imcteddy may be known for stainless steel floor troughs—but their capabilities go well beyond the floor.

This custom-fabricated worktable is a great example: integrated sinks, drawer storage, undershelf, backsplash, and matching wall shelf—all built to maximize workflow and make the most of the space.

When standard equipment doesn’t quite fit the application, custom stainless can make all the difference.

What if your refrigerator kept food hot instead of cold?

@unox.usa EVEREO® is the “Hot Fridge” — a revolutionary preservation system designed to hold cooked food at serving temperature for days, not just hours, while maintaining the taste, texture, and quality you expect from freshly prepared food.

For operators, that means the ability to cook ahead, preserve quality, reduce waste, and serve on demand — even during the busiest periods.

Rethink what hot holding can be.

Today, as we remember September 11, we also rememb

Today, as we remember September 11, we also remember a remarkable chapter in the history of our industry: Windows on the World.

Perched more than 106 stories above New York City in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Windows on the World was more than a restaurant. It was a symbol of hospitality, ambition and the possibilities of the culinary world.

At its height, it was the highest-grossing restaurant in the United States, generating approximately $37 million in revenue in 2000. Its kitchens, dining rooms and legendary wine program brought together an extraordinary team of chefs, cooks, servers, stewards and hospitality professionals from around the world.

On September 11, 2001, that community suffered an unimaginable loss. More than 70 members of the Windows on the World team were among those who lost their lives that morning.

Their influence did not end there. The restaurant helped shape modern American dining, and in the aftermath of 9/11, members of its extended family helped create organizations that would advocate for and support restaurant workers for years to come.

For those of us who make our living in foodservice and hospitality, Windows on the World remains an especially poignant reminder that behind every great restaurant are the people who bring it to life.

Today, we remember them.

Never forget.

School is back — and so are the ovens. 🔥📚

Charlie Moss with Preferred Source and Charlie Schiller with @unox.usa were on-site at Southside ISD getting their new UNOX combi ovens up and running with a hands-on startup and demo for the foodservice team.

From installation to training, we’re proud to make sure our K-12 partners have the tools and the know-how to hit the ground running for a new school year.
