Why Chef Erling Wu-Bower Relies on Vollrath for High-Performance Cooking

The restaurant draws on Erling’s personal histories and cultural backgrounds to create an exceptional dining experience. As a first-generation Chinese American, he has harnessed his experiences growing up in Chicago and New York to shape the restaurant’s identity. With a clear vision for the restaurant, Chef Erling has carefully selected top-quality equipment to support the fast-paced demands of a busy kitchen. Among these, Vollrath products play a critical role, providing the durability and precision needed to maintain consistency and efficiency in Maxwells Trading’s bustling environment.
While Chef Erling leads the vision for Maxwells Trading, he has found a skilled collaborator in Chef Chris Jung, whose expertise in menu development and product selection plays a key role in the restaurant’s culinary offerings. Together, they craft a menu that reflects their shared roots in food- centric cities, relying on Vollrath equipment to execute their ideas with precision.
"AT VOLLRATH, EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED INGENIOUSLY, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DESIGN IS ALWAYS EVOLVING.”
