MELT Culinary

Founded 2015. Built on the idea that food earns trust faster than advertising.

MELT Culinary unifies chefs and the culinary community to give consumer packaged goods, grocery and restaurant brands genuine product credibility — and gives every MELT activation a layer competitors can’t bolt on.

What the division does

Six things,
done by people who’ve
worked a service.

Chef partnerships

Named chefs and culinary talent matched to the brand, the region and the audience — briefed properly, not just booked.

Product innovation insight

Structured chef panels and tastings that give CPG teams usable direction before a line goes into development.

Culinary-led activation

Demos, tastings and cooking theatre engineered for outdoor volume and event conditions.

Mobile sampling

Trucks, carts and pop-ups with prep specs a rotating field team can hit every time.

Food-forward content

Recipe, technique and behind-the-pass content shot alongside the live programme.

Venue & hospitality

Menu, concept and partnership work for venues, hotels and restaurant reopenings.

Case in point

The War Eagle
Supper Club

Auburn’s legendary venue closed in 2015. MELT helped reimagine and reopen it at The Graduate Hotel in 2024 — concept, partnership and the culinary programme behind it.

A reopening is a brand problem before it’s a menu problem. The room had to feel like the one people remembered and work as a business that hadn’t existed for nine years.
