Welcome to High Sabatino's Foodservice Equipment Blog

For nearly 50 years, the same Grillo family has been cranking out some of the most durable, high-quality prep tables and line refrigeration in the industry. What started as the "world's finest pizza tables" in 1970 has become more than 20 major product lines with hundreds of options and accessories today.

It's that time of year. We are quickly moving through the end of summer and getting ready for schools to reopen. We are bombarded with advertisements in all forms of media regarding sales of back to school supplies.

Imagine: an Italian restaurant known for their tiramisu runs out of the dessert on a Saturday night, their busiest night of the week. Unfortunately, the restaurant’s pastry chef works Sunday to Wednesday. Without the signature dessert, guests leave unhappy and potential revenue is lost.

High Sabatino Associates is thrilled to announce that we're partnering with a World-Class American manufacturer in Vitamix. The iconic blender ties into what we do here at High Sabatino.

This week we 86’d Anthony Bourdain. Selfishly, I am really sad. He was a solid gritty writer that seemed to tell the truth about the underbelly of the culinary world that many of us who worked that side, simultaneously loved and loathed. I also loved the sheer weirdness of the kitchen and the consumptive people that I shared that space with. I love and miss those people the most as I look back. Some of those relationships are still my closest.

We don't generally publicize it. We don't really talk about it in this way. Heck, we never really thought about writing a blog post about it until a few weeks ago. But here at High Sabatino, there's one general thing you should know about our lineup of foodservice solutions.

Changing customer preferences combined with limited space can be challenging factors in operations across, not just Maryland and Virginia, but the entire foodservice landscape.

Consistent, high-quality food is the goal of any foodservice operation. After all, it's what you're selling. But creating and maintaining consistency is also one of the greatest challenges in a commercial kitchen. Finishing is one way to help meet those challenges.
