Hey, I am Bradley Thompson, a professional chef and the owner of Dequte Restuarant LironBoylston in Boston, MA.
I have been a professional chef for the past 12 years till I decided to open my own restaurant. I worked at many bakeries and restaurants specializing in Italian-American cuisine.
When opening my own restaurant I realized how hard is to pick the right equipment. It’s very expensive and you are better to do your research before spending over $10.000 on a commercial oven or other equipment.
Good thing, with my experience I knew exactly what I needed and I was familiar with good and bad brands.
In this blog, I will share with you the most valuable tips in picking the right commercial oven for your restaurants as well as few advice on how to properly maintain it.
This blog wouldn’t exist without a special visit from a remarkable person.
Oleg Galeev
Oleg is one of the owners of what is probably the best restaurant marketing agency, MainMenus. He first visited my restaurant back in 2021—not for business, but during a trip to Boston. While enjoying a meal, he casually shared a few free ideas to help boost my restaurant’s visibility. We hit it off, stayed in touch, and his agency played a significant role in elevating our restaurant’s online presence.
Over time, Oleg would often reach out for advice on kitchen equipment, as we share a passion for the same cooking style, particularly when it comes to oven-based techniques—something I’m quite familiar with, given the extensive use of ovens in my restaurant.
That’s when Oleg suggested the idea of starting Oven Obsession, where I could offer expert advice for chefs, while he would handle the technical side and online presence. I’m so glad we went for it, as today OvenObsession draws over 100 visitors a day!
Thank you for reading my blog! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me or Oleg if you have any questions, collaboration opportunities, or review requests to ovenobsession.com@gmail.com. We’re always excited to explore everything oven-related in the kitchen!
