The Kitchen

Our goal is to be your partner in creating new and exciting menu items. Through the acquisition of Admiration Foods in 2017, Stratas Foods has entered the sauces, dressings and mayonnaise categories in a very creative way, and we have developed a resource to bring these high quality products to you.

Our new innovative facility, THE KITCHEN, fosters culinary creativity at the highest level. Its proximity to New York City serves to spark original and exciting ideas. This energy is harnessed in THE KITCHEN where together, we bring new culinary solutions to life.

Our Culinary Solutions services are led by Chef Vincent Barcelona, an industry veteran and recognized talent in the culinary arts.

"We designed THE KITCHEN to provide corporate chefs, product development and marketing professionals with a culinary environment like no other", states Vincent Barcelona. "We know that the competition is fierce in the Large Chain QSR market, so having a creative facility like this enables us to work with customers to brainstorm, identify and create their next winning recipes. It's exciting and extremely gratifying".

Once a recipe has passed market testing, we support customers by supplying our products where and when they need them. For recipes requiring custom formulations, our Research Development Innovation (RDI) Center, in Memphis, TN will advance your unique recipe from a concept to a fully commercialized and deliverable product.
