August 30, 2021  [Toronto, ON] - Monogram Appliances today announced a new partnership with Canada’s most decorated Chef, and the founder of Toronto’s esteemed Alo Food Group, Chef Patrick Kriss. Patrick will help bring to life Monogram’s “Elevate Everything” vision, working with the brand to inspire Canadians to new heights of culinary excellence. The partnership is launching in tandem with Monogram’s newly reimagined Professional Range, the flagship of the fully re-invented Monogram kitchen suite.

Both Patrick and the new Monogram Professional Range have been honoured for excellence in their respective fields. Kriss’ Alo, of course, has been the recipient of accolades including “Toronto’s Best New Restaurant” (Toronto Life), “Canada’s Best Restaurant” (Canada’s 100 Best) and a rare four star review from the Globe and Mail. And Patrick himself was named Outstanding Chef of 2017, 2018, and 2019 by Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants. The Monogram Professional Range recently received the prestigious Architectural Digest Great Design Award for excellence and has long been the choice of professional chefs appearing in numerous national and international cooking competitions.

Next month, in celebration of the new partnership, and the launch of the new Monogram Professional Range, Patrick and the Alo team will take over Toronto’s Monogram Design Centre to host an exclusive five-course luxury dinner for frontline healthcare workers - paying tribute to their outstanding service throughout the course of the pandemic. The meal will, of course, be prepared on the new Monogram Professional Range.

“As someone who is incredibly passionate about creating sophisticated and unique culinary journeys in my restaurants, I’m proud to be partnering with Monogram to bring an elevated cooking experience into the home,” said Patrick. “The opportunity to work with Monogram to show our appreciation to frontline healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly to keep Canadians safe and healthy is an honour and a privilege,” explained Kriss.

Torontonians can now nominate themselves - or a healthcare professional in their life - to attend the exclusive event. For more information and to enter, please visit TorontoLife.com.
