It is said to be an important event as it marks the re-introduction of meat to Chef Crenn’s menu since its removal from Crenn Dining Group’s restaurants in 2018.

The alliance between UPSIDE Foods and Chef Crenn stands as evidence of their united vision for a more sustainable and conscientious future of food.

Chef Dominique Crenn said: “It’s truly an honour to serve UPSIDE’s cultivated chicken at Bar Crenn and introduce cultivated meat to the US.

“It’s the first time meat has made it back on my menu since 2018 because UPSIDE Chicken is the first meat that I feel good about serving.

“From its exquisite flavour and texture to its aroma and the way it cooks, UPSIDE Chicken is simply delicious and it represents  a significant step towards a more sustainable and compassionate food system.”
