Hestan has announced that Thomas Keller has joined its team as a Hestan Culinary Brand Ambassador.
Chef Thomas Keller, known for restaurants such as The French Laundry, in Napa Valley, and Per Se, in New York, has worked with Hestan since the company’s launch of Hestan Commercial in 2015. Keller joined the division to provide culinary inspiration and guidance and installed the line of premium commercial kitchen appliances in several of his restaurants.
Now, Keller will take on a role with the Hestan Culinary to provide that same inspiration and guidance to the development of new cookware, working closely with Stanley Cheng, founder and CEO of Hestan, to elevate the cooking experience at homes and in professional kitchens, according to the Hestan Culinary.
Everything that Hestan introduces is designed with purpose and unmatched quality, including the cookware, which I have found to be the most innovative, responsive, durable, and beautiful line for both professional and home cooks.

“Our partnership with Chef Thomas Keller is extremely gratifying and comes from many years of friendship and mutual respect,” Cheng said. “From the first time that Helen, my wife, and I had dinner at The French Laundry, we knew that we were experiencing the pinnacle of culinary perfection, and that has been a great source of inspiration to me in building Hestan. Our values are very closely aligned and we are both committed to excellence.”
Keller added, “Everything that Hestan introduces is designed with purpose and unmatched quality, including the cookware, which I have found to be the most innovative, responsive, durable, and beautiful line for both professional and home cooks.”
