Chefs Warehouse Holdings, LLC
Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-173445 |
Mr. Owings:
On behalf of Chefs Warehouse Holdings, LLC (the Registrant) and pursuant to Rule 461
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, I hereby request acceleration of the
effective date of the Registration Statement to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 27, 2011,
or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
The disclosure in the referenced filing is the responsibility of the Registrant. The
Registrant represents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) that should
the Commission, or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective,
it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing, and the
Registrant represents that it will not assert staff comments or the action of the staff to declare
the filing effective as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under
the federal securities laws of the United States.
The Registrant further acknowledges that the action of the Commission or the staff, acting
pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective does not relieve the Registrant
from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the filing.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the undersigned at (203) 894-1345 or
our outside counsel, F. Mitchell Walker, Jr., by telephone at (615) 742-6275 or by e-mail at
mwalker@bassberry.com or, in his absence, D. Scott Holley by telephone at (615) 742-7721 or by
e-mail at sholley@bassberry.com. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this
matter.
