NEW YORK, June 10 (Korea Bizwire) – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., America’s fastest growing appliance  brand1 and a global category leader, announced that renowned  chef Daniel Boulud is joining Samsung Club des Chefs, an industry-first  culinary initiative launched in 2013 that brings together celebrated  chefs from around the world to collaborate with Samsung on the  development of next-generation new product innovations.

Best known for his Michelin three-star restaurant DANIEL, Boulud is a  French-born chef and restaurateur with restaurants in the United States  (locations in New York City, Las Vegas, Palm Beach and Miami; Boston and  Washington, DC locations to open Fall 2014), Canada, United Kingdom and  Singapore. The James Beard Award winner first gained recognition at the  age of 15, when he was a finalist in France’s competition for Best  Culinary Apprentice. In his early years in New York, Boulud served as  Executive Chef at Le Cirque, where he elevated the restaurant to one of  the most highly rated in the country. Considered one of America’s  leading culinary authorities, his current restaurants, in addition to  his flagship DANIEL, include Café Boulud, db bistro moderne, Bar Boulud,  Boulud Sud, Épicerie Boulud and DBGB Kitchen and Bar.

“We are honored to have Daniel Boulud join our distinguished team. Club  des Chefs is a great example of how Samsung taps into insights – in this  case, from professional chefs – to develop kitchen products with an  unmatched level of innovation, performance and premium style,” said  Boo-Keun Yoon, President and CEO of Consumer Electronics at Samsung  Electronics Co. Ltd. “Samsung’s Club des Chefs program was designed to  bridge consumers to insights from the masters of the culinary world.  With the involvement of Daniel Boulud and our roster of chefs, we are  taking the premium home appliance category to a new level.”

In addition to Boulud, Samsung Club des Chefs includes:

  • Michel Troisgros, the third-generation owner of a three Michelin star  restaurant since 1968, La Maison Troisgros in Roanne, France. He  serves as president of Samsung Club des Chefs;
  • Christopher Kostow, the second American-born and the third youngest  chef ever to receive three Michelin stars for Meadowood in Napa  Valley, California;
  • Eric Trochon, winner of Meilleurs Ouvriers de France 2011, one of the  most difficult national cooking contests in France, and renowned chef,  food stylist and professor at the Ferrandi Culinary School in Paris;
  • Éric Fréchon, three-star Michelin chef and executive chef of the  restaurant Épicure at the Hôtel  Le Bristol in Paris;
  • Davide Oldani, the owner and chef of the restaurant D.O. in Milan, and  a rising culinary star in Italy.

“Growing up in France, building my career in New York City, and  traveling around the world has shown me how global the culinary  community is,” said Boulud. “With my chef friends in different parts of  the world, our main topic of conversation is always cooking. Joining  this esteemed ‘Club de Chefs’ gives us the opportunity to collaborate  and innovate further, while guiding the creation of new products which  will enhance the enjoyment of cooking at home. With its focus on  technological innovation and elegant design, Samsung is the perfect  partner to bring all of these elements together.”

Introducing the Samsung Chef Collection

For the past year, Club des Chefs members have shared their culinary  expertise and insights with Samsung’s own team of product development  experts to help develop, test and bring to market new products. Now  available at retail, the new Samsung Chef Collection suite of kitchen  appliances was designed to offer an awe-inspiring level of innovation,  performance and premium style to meet the needs and wants of the most  discerning home cook. The new Samsung Chef Collection features:

  • The Samsung Chef Collection 4-Door Refrigerator (models:  RF34H9960S4/AA, Sparkling Water; RF34H9950S4/AA, Non-Sparkling Water),  which includes several chef insight-driven features focused on  temperature. Chef Mode minimizes temperature fluctuation to preserve  the texture and flavor of food. By setting an overall refrigerator  temperature of 36°F, it automatically adjusts the temperature of other  compartments which store ingredients which are more fresh and fragile,  like the Chef Pantry. The Triple Cooling System provides temperature  and humidity control in all three zones of the refrigerator, while a  stainless steel Metal Cooling plate in the rear wall reduces the loss  of cold air when the door is opened. The Fridge-In-Freezer, a bottom  right door that can be converted from refrigerator to freezer, offers  maximum flexibility with four temperature settings: Fridge (41ºF),  Chilled (40ºF), Soft Freezer (23ºf) and Frozen (-9º – 1ºF). Available  now. MSRP $5,999 (with sparkling water dispenser) and $5,699 (without  sparkling water).
  • The Samsung Chef Collection Dishwasher with WaterWall Technology  (model:DW80H9970US), which features a sweeping wall of water to  deliver never before seen cleaning versus conventional circular water  jets. Available now. MSRP $1,699.
  • The Samsung Chef Collection Slide In Range (model:NE58H9950WS), which is now available in electric, induction and gas  versions and includes sophisticated oven control levels and precise  temperature regulation. A premium built-in finish makes this an  attractive addition to any kitchen. Available now. MSRP $2,499.
  • The Samsung Chef Collection Over-The-Range (OTR) Microwave  (model:ME21H9900AS), which allows home cooks to simply place their  dish in the oven and choose the desired dish and weight option  settings from the auto cook menu. Sensor cooking technology ensures  optimal cooking time and temperature. Available now. MSRP $599.

Meet the Club des Chefs

Boulud and other Club des Chefs members will join Samsung executives on  June 11 at 4:15 p.m. for the launch of Samsung’s 2014 Home Appliance  line at Samsung Living Atelier, a participatory center of home appliance  innovation and design that epitomizes the creativity, energy,  vibrancy and sheer innovation of Samsung Home Appliances. Located at 837  Washington Street in New York City and open to the public Saturday, June  14 and Sunday June 15, this interactive workshop and new product  showcase will allow visitors to experience the latest Samsung kitchen,  laundry and cleaning products first-hand.
