Today’s consumers are looking for sandwiches that feature new ingredients, interesting flavors and unique combinations.1 With a more premium image than any other Dijon, Grey Poupon helps chefs capture their attention.2
The majority of professional chefs agree that gourmet sandwiches are a hot trend in 2010.3 And Chef Michael Siry is no exception. Once known among his friends as "Condiment Man," Michael’s self-described love affair with Grey Poupon began when he was still a boy growing up in Englewood, New Jersey. Today, he uses it primarily in sauces and spreads to add depth to a variety of items, including his fresh and flavorful gourmet sandwiches.
