Singer Equipment Company is proud to announce our partnership with Eli Kulp as the exclusive distributor sponsor for The CHEF Radio Podcast.

Kulp, 43, began The CHEF Radio Podcast last April, when his city and the rest of the world was in the deepest of weeds—the COVID-19 pandemic had shuttered restaurant service to a screeching halt. The idea to create a channel that could speak directly to members of the Philadelphia hospitality community was seeded through thoughtful collaboration.

“At that time and now, people want to hear from chefs. People are listening to gain knowledge of how everyone is handling this situation, like being a fly on the wall while two professionals talk about the industry,” says Kulp.

In our debut sponsorship episode, Kulp sits down with Heather Thomason to discuss the importance of genetics in farming, selling sustainable products, and being a woman in a male dominated field. Heather specializes in whole animal butchery and is the founder of Primal Supply Meats, a Philadelphia-based butchery and local sourcing company.

Sourcing local is an important message, and equally important to Kulp when considering sponsors for his show.

“Singer has been a big part of the growth in this city for a long time. They’ve built kitchens for me and they’ve supplied our restaurants for a very long time. Since I’ve been in Philadelphia, Singer is really the only equipment company that we’ve used,” says Kulp.

This episode is cosponsored by DiBruno Bros and Maxwell-McKenney. Listen to the full episode here.
