We can"t stand the status quo—especially when the status quo stinks. That was literally true back in 1982, when you had two options for getting garlic into your meal: chop up a fresh clove and have your hands smell for the rest of the day, or settle for a couple of thin, dry flakes tapped out of a plastic container. For our founder, CEO, and Famous Inventor David Holcomb, there really was no option. He had to do better, and he knew he could. Fast forward a few decades and David"s first creation, the Garlic Machine, has become Chef"n. We"re a growing Seattle-based company with more than 250 product patents worldwide and a single mission. We want to make better tools so you can make better food. It"s what drives our in-house design team to reinvent the utensils and gadgets that most of us take for granted while we"re cooking and cleaning. It"s what attracts the terrific, talented people we"ve welcomed into our Chef"n family. And it"s what compels us to tell everyone we meet about the innovation Chef"n products can bring to their kitchens. Is anyone listening? Well, the design awards and magazine covers seem to say yes, but for us the true test is in the homes of real people around the world. So put one of our inventions to work, create something delicious, and we look forward to hearing from you about your Chef"n experience.
