SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 5, 2016) - Air Culinaire Worldwide announced today the opening of a new 5,000-square-foot in-flight catering facility in San Francisco.

"Our new San Francisco culinary center represents Air Culinaire Worldwide's next generation of chef-driven concierge service facilities and will enable us to better serve our clients' and guests who use San Francisco as a hub for national and international private aviation travel," said Steven Roberts, Senior Vice President of Operations, Air Culinaire Worldwide. "The new facility includes an expanded hot food area, a massive refrigerated storage area, and a sous-vide system (method of treating food by partial cooking followed by vacuum-sealing and chilling) that will allow for increased flavor and presentation for time-intensive dishes. With the additional capacity, we'll be able to enhance our full-suite of custom-tailored services and exceptional offerings for our clients, including exceptional regional and international cuisine, as well as on-site food safety and culinary training."
Heading up the team is Jean-Louis Brocardi, who was previously the general manager of Air Culinaire Worldwide Paris.

He has managed in unique culinary environments such as France, New York, Palma de Mallorca, St. Martin and Bogota, and is a frequent traveler to the top culinary destinations around the world, giving him a truly global perspective and invaluable experience.
