POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Three days at the 2026 Singer Summit in downtown Philadelphia left our Maxwell–McKenney team excited and energized.

Alongside our colleagues from Robot Coupe, Service Ideas, and Eastern Tabletop, we shared stories, explored opportunities, exchanged ideas, and enjoyed plenty of laughs with our friends at Singer.

Singer is a remarkable company. The integrity and values they bring to their relationships are evident in every conversation. Thank you to the entire Singer team for bringing us together—we’re looking forward to what we’ll build next. #singerspark #makecheflifebetter215 #robotcoupe #serviceideas #easterntabletop taken in Lowes Hotel Philadelphia by @matthewgmckenney

PRESSURE DROP — Advanced Techniques for Vacuum Sealers

Vacuum technology can do a lot more than package food.

Rapid infusion. Cold-extracted syrups and shrubs. Vacuum-infused garnishes. Compressed fruits and vegetables. Batch prep that locks in freshness and flavor.

On Tuesday, September 15 at Studiokitchen, we’re bringing together three experts to explore how manipulating atmospheric pressure can open up entirely new possibilities in both the kitchen and behind the bar:

Joe Sielski — Owner, Minipack USA
Danny Childs — James Beard Award-winning author of Slow Drinks
Chef Shola Olunloyo — Studiokitchen

We’ll get hands-on with advanced chamber vacuum techniques designed to create deeper flavor, new textures, greater consistency and smarter prep.

This is a chef- and bartender-focused session with a very limited number of spots available.

📍 Studiokitchen
📅 Tuesday, September 15
⏰ 10:00 AM arrival | Program begins 10:30 AM

Interested in joining us? DM me for an invitation.

Beautiful dinner last night at StudioKitchen with Chef Shola Olunloyo — and right in the middle of peak tomato season. 🍅

Shola’s food always has that combination of incredible ingredients, technique and just enough restraint to let everything taste like itself.

Philadelphia summer on a plate.
