Frontgate has partnered with American chef Michael Symon to launch the brand’s new outdoor kitchen collection, which includes three distinct collections with more than 15 modular pieces.
“We couldn’t be more excited to launch the outdoor season with such an amazing partner,” says Tom Bazzone, president of Frontgate. “Michael’s leadership and expertise in cooking and entertaining provide the inspiration and education for our customers to go outside in style and cook with confidence.”
As the official launch partner, Chef Symon will share exclusive content featured on frontgate.com, showcasing how to set up and stock an outdoor kitchen, as well as thoughtful ways to maximize its use. Throughout the year, Chef Symon will also share expert culinary tips and gourmet recipes that inspire elevated, outdoor entertaining.
Frontgate’s three outdoor kitchen collections—Westport Teak, Westport Aluminum and Isola Kitchen—offer modular designs that integrate appliances, including grills, wine refrigerators and compact freezers. They also feature durable, scratch-resistant countertops and storage.
“The past two years have fundamentality shifted consumer behavior,” the company said in a release. “The comfort of home and safety of the outdoors have become central to the ways in which we socialize—with our own backyard becoming the destination of choice. As the 2022 outdoor season gets underway, consumers will be more inclined than ever to turn their backyard into an outdoor oasis by incorporating stylish yet functional pieces to prep, grill and entertain.”
To celebrate the launch, and kick off the partnership, Chef Symon will join Frontgate at the 2022 South Beach Wine & Food Fest in Miami Beach, Florida. The event will showcase Frontgate’s new outdoor collections, including the outdoor kitchen.
“You no longer need to be a chef to enjoy high-quality kitchens, and that notion should extend beyond the walls of your home,” says Chef Michael Symon. “There’s nothing better than being able to entertain your friends and family with ease outside. And what I love about Frontgate’s collection is not only the quality, but the fact that the modular design provides the storage, flexibility and style to make it your own.”
The partnership between Frontgate and Chef Symon will not only serve customers, but also those communities that continue to suffer devastating losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Frontgate has pledged to donate $25,000 to the Michael D. Symon Foundation, which serves Cleveland area food banks, the Salvation Army, and restaurant/hospitality employees and their families, among others.
“We are proud to help Michael’s goals for his Foundation and to assist those in the communities it serves,” Bazzone says.
