SOTTO ZERO USA ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP

Fairview, NJ- Sotto Zero USA is proud to announce that it has formed a Partnership with published author and Food Network Chopped Champion Chef Eric LeVine, to work on a project to be announced in the Spring of 2012.
Starting at age 11, Eric had shown an interest in foodservice when working for a caterer. Fanning that spark, Eric’s grandfather sent him to France, at the age of 14, to work under Chef Jean Louis at La Maison in Lyon where he learned how to finesse the romance of a dish. Two years later, he was “shipped” to Florence to work under Chef Giovanni Brunello where he learned how to infuse passion and robust flavor into his cooking. Brunello then put him on a plane to Tokyo to work with Chef Lee Ho where he learnedhow to marry old-world practices with modern cuisine.
Returning to the U.S., Eric attended the Culinary Institute of America. From there he worked in many notorious restaurants culminating in him becoming the Chef de Cuisine at the famed Marriott Marquis in New York City.
The James Beard Foundation, world famous for re-establishing the American way of cooking and the technique of using only fresh, indigenous ingredients, recognized Chef Eric for his contributions to the gastronomic culinary scene in the United States and nominated him for Outstanding Chef of Year.  In addition, Chef Eric was also invited for the third time to host a dinner at the James Be­ard House in New York for the Great Regional Chefs of America Series, the first catering chef to be given this prestigious opportunity.
The superlatives continued when The International Chef’s Association named Chef Eric Creative Caterer of the Year and Chef of the Year – the only American chef to receive that distinction.
With Chef Eric joining on our side we plan to continue our expansion into the Frozen Dessert Market and increase our current product offerings.
