Glen Ridge Country Club. Glen Ridge, NJ, USA.

“Not having to start turkeys at four or five in the morning for a brunch has really increased the work-life balance for my sous chefs and me, and those are key challenges, especially with the staffing shortage.”

Chef James Haberstroh, Executive Chef, Glen Ridge Country Club.

Tested, perfected and replicated.

The RATIONAL combi’s steaming function allows one of the menu’s stars to shine. “We cook 80 to 90 pounds of octopus at one time in the 20-pan. Everyone asks, ‘How did you get it so tender?’ Well, I put it in the RATIONAL, put the probe in, add our marination and spices and pull up the cooking path—that’s all I do.”

Menus change every three or four weeks, and recipes are tested, perfected, and stored using ConnectedCooking so they can be perfectly replicated.

Chef Haberstroh appreciates how much his RATIONAL equipment helps increase consistency, speed and efficiency, so vitally important during the pandemic when at times it was just him and his sous chef in the kitchen by themselves.

“Not everybody golfs, but everybody eats,” he says with a smile.
