COMFORT FOODS & OUTDOOR
DININGAs COVID-19 has disrupted the way we work, socialize
and enjoy leisure activities, people are craving familiarity and
comfort in all they do – including how they eat. Comfort foods are
king when it comes to enticing diners and are also easy to add to a
new or revamped patio menu. A comfortable outdoor dining
environment goes hand-in-hand with an updated patio menu, and Sysco
offers equipment to provide the comfort of indoors with the outdoor
ambience diners want, including heaters, wind breaks and fire
pits.
ARREZZIO IMPERIAL LUXE RAVIOLIWith on-trend and upscale flavor
profiles that include goat cheese & lemon, braised beef and
burrata cheese, this lighter, thinner, more delicate version of
ravioli cooks in minutes and helps deliver a unique meal
experience.
SYSCO IMPERIAL PIMENTO CHEESE BITES These crave-worthy bites
meet the consumer demand for cheese-based appetizers, add a popular
flavor profile to entrées or make a unique pairing with craft beer
or your favorite cocktail.
SYSCO IMPERIAL DESSERT MASHUPS Fun, creamy and delicious, these
thaw-and serve cheesecakes will turn dessert into an experiential

These innovative desserts will create Instagram-worthy moments
while satisfying patrons’ craving for a bit of sweet nostalgia.

BETTER FOR YOU INGREDIENTSIn this rapidly
changing environment, people are also looking for balance. The
Sysco Brand Cutting Edge Solutions line of products includes
