Our Test Kitchen

Accardi moved from the Chelsea location to a brand new 70,000 square foot warehouse in 1993. At that time a functional multi use space was created, dedicated to fostering education and training in the culinary arts. This space combines a large commercial kitchen and bar, seating for 100 people, and our showroom.

We encourage our customers to visit our showroom. The visual experience of exploring our extensive product line in our showroom allows our customers to see all of our products. It is impossible to take all of our products on the road with us! We appreciate when our customers take time from a busy day to visit our warehouse, and maybe enjoy a coffee, or lunch if you happen to be visiting at noon!
