Chef America, Inc.
 PROFILE
Put the knife down -- and the fork. Chef America's quick cooking (microwave) foods don't require utensils. Its stuffed sandwich brands, which include Hot Pockets, Lean Pockets, and Croissant Pockets, make the company one of the top frozen meal processors. In addition to grocery and convenience stores, Chef America serves the institutional food service market, vending machines, and warehouse clubs. The company's two plants also make Belgian Chef waffles, Breakfast Pockets, and toaster-ready snacks. Firmly placed in the US market, the company is now considering expanding overseas where convenience foods are gaining popularity. The founding Merage family owns and runs Chef America.
