Charlie the Butcher
Charlie Roesch is a long-time partner and friend of Alto-Shaam. Over the last three generations, his family built a food empire in Buffalo, New York, called Charlie the Butcher’s Kitchen. It all started with the “beef on weck” sandwich, a regional specialty that Charlie perfected using the Alto-Shaam Cook & Hold Oven.

In this testimonial video, Charlie shares how he discovered the Alto-Shaam ovens at The National Restaurant Association Show about three decades ago. The company had just gotten started at that point, and Charlie was one of Alto-Shaam’s first customers. The rest is history.
