Where It All Started

It all started with Chris Young. He’s our founder, an author (look up Modernist Cuisine: the Art and Science of Cooking), the co-founder of ChefSteps, and the inventor of the Joule sous vide circulator. Before that, he was the head development chef at Heston Blumenthal’s renowned Fat Duck restaurant.

He’s been combining his love of science, technology, and cooking for nearly 20 years. Now he really wants a smarter thermometer in his kitchen. That’s what we’re building. For Chef Young, and for all of us.
