Five Star Chef Launches High-end Travel Gear For The Culinary Professional

Online, March 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Traveling Culinarist, a new brand of prestige luggage and accessories for chefs, has announced the launch of its full product line and e-commerce site www.trannonculinary.com. The new site will give consumers the ability to browse color images of the complete line of TC products, as well as make on-line purchases.

The new series is the next generation in travel gear for the discerning culinary professional. The uniquely branded products were created by Vaughn Trannon, a well respected chef with a diverse background. Vaughn went from honing his skills at the prestigious Ritz Carlton in New Orleans, to becoming a private chef for high-profile clients. His travels in this current position served as the impetus for creating products that are not only cutting-edge in design, but also functional and well constructed.

"These bags were designed by a chef with the chef in mind. I created this unique collection specifically to hold all the various shapes and sizes of cooking utensils. Now when I travel I can carry all of my tools, knowing that they will be safe and sound when I arrive at any kitchen", states Vaughn Trannon, President of Trannon Culinary.

The Traveling Culinarist line is set to redefine how chef's travel, offering stylish, yet practical designs to satisfy a multitude of tastes and budgets. The series is comprised of the Tote, Cook 1, Sous and Executive with price points ranging from $88.89 to $399.00, respectively. All TC products are made with pride in the U.S.A., and feature innovative elements of design, rugged construction and come with a lifetime warranty on workmanship.

Vaughn's priority was to craft the Traveling Culinarist line to meet exacting standards for quality and durability. "I designed this collection with the connoisseur in mind. Only top quality materials are used in the construction of TC products, including 1000 Denier Cordura nylon, YKK double pull zippers and heavy duty metal D rings and clasps. All of my products feature reinforced quality stitching at all seems, 3-point Velcro adjustable dividers and multiple interior pouches and mesh pockets. This keen attention to detail and craftsmanship set us apart as leaders in the industry".

The Culinarist Tote is compact enough for a trip to the farmers market, and the Cook 1 is the ideal messenger bag - created specifically with the cook-on-the-go in mind. The Sous and Executive models come equipped with an integrated skate wheel system for ease of navigation through busy airports. Both are expandable units, providing ample storage space for bulky items.
