Excellence Is Served
At Middleby, we believe the best lessons are those you can experience first-hand. We designed our popular MAINS program (Middleby Academy of Innovative New Solutions) to feature the evolution of culinary art and science innovation. Now, our revolutionary program expands into its next chapter: SERVED, Middleby’s newest hands-on culinary experience launching in 2024!
Guests will be invited to enjoy an educational and dynamic approach to food service solutions. Each program is led by several Keynote Speakers who present state-of-the-art food service solutions used to create each course in this delicious event. Guests join us for the program of their choice based on the advanced solutions they want to learn – and we provide them with a masterclass culinary experience that only Middleby can provide.
Our segments are tailored for diverse industries, including healthcare, colleges & universities, K-12 education, and more.
