ShopRite Unveils 'Chefs On Call' to Provide Customers with a Stress-Free Thanksgiving

From Sunday, November 24th through Thanksgiving Day, a select team of top ShopRite Culinary Workshop Chef Instructors will serve up answers to customers' Thanksgiving meal preparation questions. Whether cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner, preparing a side dish or simply helping out in the kitchen, ShopRite's top chefs will be "on call" to guide seasoned cooks and beginners alike through their holiday meal plans and preparations.

In addition to answering questions received through ShopRite's Customer Care Center via 1-800-ShopRite, these ShopRite Culinary Workshop Professional Chef Instructors will also share preparation tips and kitchen-tested recipe ideas that are sure to complement the most treasured of traditional holiday meals.

The "ShopRite Chefs on Call" service was introduced in 2008 as a culinary resource for ShopRite customers seeking advice, recipes and home-cooking tips from a practiced and knowledgeable source.

"ShopRite's Chefs on Call provides ShopRite customers with direct, easy access to someone with professional culinary skills who can guide them through their holiday food preparation," said ShopRite's Corporate Executive Chef Lynn Logg. "Our friendly chefs are able to connect with customers in a personal way. This personal connection is truly what makes ShopRite everyone's 'neighborhood grocery store."

About ShopRite's Culinary Workshop
Created over 10 years ago, ShopRite's Culinary Workshop offers hands-on cooking classes taught by area professional Chefs in 45 of our stores. The program is headed by Corporate Executive Chef Lynn Logg who views the program as the perfect opportunity for home cooks to discover, cook with and taste many of the specialty foods and wonderful meat, seafood and products that ShopRite carries. For a minimal fee, guests attend a 2-hour class and fully participate in the preparation of an entire meal. After the meal is finished, they dine with the chef. The Culinary Workshop also offers birthday parties for kids ages 5 - 16, and is a great forum for team building workshops. ShopRite continually looks for ways to help its customers save money on their food budget. By providing money and time-saving professional tips, customers learn to prepare restaurant quality foods in their own home. ShopRite's Culinary Workshop also partners with civic organizations, local businesses and hospitals to provide classes for their members or clients.
