When most people think of deli meats and cheeses, they immediately picture a sandwich. While that’s certainly where Boar’s Head® has built its reputation, limiting these premium products to the deli station means missing countless menu opportunities.
At Infinity Provisions, we work with chefs throughout Orlando and Central Florida, and one of the biggest misconceptions we see is that deli meats are only meant to be sliced thin and layered between bread. In reality, Boar’s Head® products are incredibly versatile, making them an easy way to add premium flavor, consistency, and quality across your entire menu.
Whether you’re creating seasonal LTOs, refreshing your lunch menu, or looking for new ways to maximize products already in your kitchen, here are a few ideas to think beyond the sandwich.
Many Boar’s Head® proteins can be shredded or pulled to create completely different menu applications. Instead of serving sliced chicken or turkey, try pulling it apart to create hearty soups, flavorful salads, wraps, tacos, grain bowls, or quesadillas.
Shredded meats provide a more handcrafted appearance while allowing the seasoning and flavors to blend beautifully into the rest of the dish.
Some great examples include:
These recipes prove that premium deli meat can easily become the centerpiece of comfort food favorites without requiring hours of prep.
Another simple way to transform deli meat is by ordering it sliced Dinner Cut, a thicker slice designed for heartier applications.
Once sliced thicker, the meat can easily be diced into cubes, making it perfect for:
Instead of traditional toppings, premium diced deli meat delivers consistent flavor, attractive presentation, and a more elevated guest experience.
Some Boar’s Head® recipes that showcase this approach include:
It’s an easy way to take familiar menu items and give them a premium upgrade.
One of the biggest advantages of cooking with Boar’s Head® is access to unique flavors that simply aren’t available from most manufacturers.
Products like Caramelized Onion Jack Cheese or Sweet B’s® Honey Barbeque Glazed Chicken Breast bring bold, chef-inspired flavor profiles that instantly elevate a dish without requiring dozens of additional ingredients.
Instead of building flavor from scratch, start with products that already deliver layers of complexity.
A few standout recipe ideas include:
These ingredients become more than just proteins or cheeses; they become the signature flavor your guests remember.
Today’s guests expect more than ordinary. They’re looking for unique flavors, quality ingredients, and menu items they can’t recreate at home.
Using premium products in creative ways helps restaurants:
Sometimes the biggest menu innovation isn’t introducing an entirely new ingredient, it’s simply finding a new way to use one you already have.
Every Boar’s Head® product is built on a commitment to quality that chefs can confidently serve.
That’s the philosophy behind the Boar’s Head® Five No’s, meaning products are made with:
It’s a standard that reflects the premium quality guests recognize and trust, helping chefs feel confident about every dish leaving the kitchen.
