The Zink Culinary Program
Three chefs · eight centers
Eight kitchens are a facility. Three chefs who cook your menu on the equipment you are considering at Zink Chicago are a service. Book one and they run your recipes, not a demo script.

What you can see at Chicago.
Key items from the lines we represent in this state — not every model, and that is the point. Tell us what you want to cook on and we will bring it in, or move it from another center, before you arrive. A chef will run your own menu on it, and there is no charge.
Worth knowing
If the piece you want to test is not here, that is a scheduling question rather than a problem. Give us a week and it usually is.
More than kitchens.
Equipment is only the start — tabletop, smallwares, and furniture are here to be handled, compared, and sat in.
Upcoming at Chicago.
