What Chefs Want is a wholesale food supplier and broadline distributor serving restaurants in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and six other states. From local to global and from staple items to gourmet rarities, we have the variety of products to cover all of your needs. In addition to over 16,000 restaurants, we have decades of experience serving K-12 schools, colleges and universities, healthcare institutions, residential facilities, entertainment facilities, and retail customers. Our Local Food Connection program is the foremost distribution solution for those who want to know where their food comes from – and to share the stories behind it. We offer a platform of solutions so that our customers can choose the very best products to meet their own definitions and needs for local by state, by location, by farm type, by growing practice, or by story. Our local program was founded as a stand-alone food hub with a mission to build long-term growth for small and mid-sized farms and artisans, and we are proud to continue that work with Alabama farmers, food businesses, and customers through the Sweet Grown Alabama program.
