Welcome Chef Nate

We want to welcome this rising star of the culinary world with a resounding - “Yes! We will finally buy those funky fruits!”

This month, the fruits of the Caribbean will start to find their way to your local grocer. For many of us, there is just no telling what lies inside the exotic and colorful skins or what to do with these exciting ingredients. Most are delicious but, not surprising, need to be the stars in authentic Caribbean dishes to really shine.

Fortunately, we now are lucky enough to have a great chef to call when we’re in the store. ChefsLine is pleased to introduce you to Chef Nate Auchter who has just returned from his restaurant in Puerto Rico and he’s angling to help us finally throw that fruit into our baskets. Chef Nate is available by appointment and on the hotline at 1-800-977-1224 and looks forward to teaching you how to recognize, shop for, and prepare fresh Carribbean fruits and vegetables such as guanabana, plantains, and breadfruit. To learn more about these ingredients and Nate’s approach to preparing simple Caribbean dishes, visit our special Celebrate Puerto Rico feature, here and check our Chef’s recipes for Mamey Shakes, Guanabana Sorbet, and more!

Please take a moment to learn more about Chef Nate’s background, passionate approach to food, and desire to work one-on-one with you to take your cooking to that next level. More about Nate.
