GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Grecian Delight | Kronos—celebrating its
50th Anniversary this year—is thrilled to announce that
its ReadyCarved® Pork Al Pastor Slices is a featured recipient and
judges' favorite in the 2024 Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards and
will be showcased at The National Restaurant Association,
Hotel-Motel Show® taking place May 18–21 at
the McCormick Place in Chicago,
IL.
Grecian Delight | Kronos's ReadyCarved®
Pork Al Pastor Slices Recognized as a FABI Favorite 2024.
Grecian Delight | Kronos, a leading producer of Greek and
Mediterranean cuisine, developed its ReadyCarved® Pork Al Pastor
slices using the same traditional shawarma-style cooking techniques
first introduced to Mexico in the
early 1900s by the Lebanese immigrants who created it. ReadyCarved®
Pork Al Pastor is a culinary breakthrough in operator convenience
and flavor authenticity. Marinated and vacuum-tumbled, then
hand-stacked on a large industrial-sized vertical spit,
flame-broiled rotisserie style, and robotically carved off the
cone, this fully cooked delicacy offers operators a convenient way
to serve genuine Hispanic street food using a wide range of
standard kitchen equipment—no special equipment needed, simply heat
and serve.
"We're not only honored to be recognized as a 2024 FABI
Favorite, we're also excited to celebrate this recognition on our
50th Anniversary. We look forward to showcasing
ReadyCarved® Pork Al Pastor slices at the NRA Show—along with many
of our other products like authentic ReadyCarved® Gyros, Chicken
Shawarma, new ReadyCuts™ Souvlaki Kebabs, and plant-based falafel
and chickpea fritters and tots," said Mike
Paribello, SVP of Marketing & Retail Sales at Grecian
Delight | Kronos. "With tens of thousands of professionals
attending from around the globe, the Show presents the perfect
opportunity to introduce our range of traditional global foods with
authentic flavors to new buyers who are seeking the most convenient
way to expand their menus."
The National Restaurant Association Show's FABI Awards represent
the most forward-thinking and creative new tastes that are driving
trends, delighting customers and delivering expanded menu offerings
across the industry focused on increasing profitability. Each FABI
Award submission was evaluated by an independent panel of judges
from across the foodservice industry who represent some of the most
well-known brands and organizations. New this year, the judges
selected the most innovative and influential products to be
featured as FABI Favorites. Recipients were selected for their
exciting new tastes, uniqueness in the market, appeal to the
operator community, creative approach to operator challenges, or
introduction of new opportunities and profit potential.
"This year is truly an exceptional year for noteworthy food and
beverage products," said Tom
Cindric, President of The National Restaurant Show. "The
awarded products are breaking new barriers in flavor, taste,
creativity and packaging and are shaping the future of food and
beverage. As the world's largest and most trusted foodservice
event, the Show continues to be where the next big industry trends
are born and serves as a launching pad for companies to showcase
new products."
Grecian Delight | Kronos will showcase its ReadyCarved Pork Al
Pastor slices on the Show floor in featured demos at The Culinary
Experience and in tastings held at the new Connections space.
As the global restaurant and hospitality industry's premier
trade show, the National Restaurant Association Show is
