During that weekend, we ate more than 10 sous vide egg bites from the local Starbucks. The following week, we began conversations with IRONMAN about a potential partnership,” said Felipe Hasselmann, Cuisine Solutions CEO and President. “IRONMAN is in the experience business, and we are in the memory business.
