      has established itself as a leading provider of commercial restaurant
      equipment and food processing equipment. Middleby&#8217;s competitive advantage
      comes as a result of its acquisition and development of industry leading
      brands and through the introduction of innovative products. Over the past
      three years Middleby has completed nine acquisitions in the commercial
      foodservice equipment and food processing equipment industries. These
      acquisitions have added thirteen brands to the Middleby portfolio and
      positioned Middleby as a leading supplier of equipment in both

      restaurants, hotels, stadiums, convenience stores and coffee shops. These
      customers increasingly value the ability to cook food in a quick and high
      quality manner with minimal employee training. In addition, TurboChef
      ovens enable certain other customers to significantly broaden their
      foodservice offerings. TurboChef offers four primary speed cook countertop

      stockholders in connection with the merger. This document is a prospectus
      being delivered to TurboChef stockholders because Middleby is offering
      shares of its common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of
      TurboChef common stock in the merger. The proxy statement/prospectus
      contains important information about the merger agreement, the merger and
      the special meeting, and you should read it carefully. Stockholders of
      Middleby are not required to approve the merger, any issuance of Middleby
      common stock in the merger or any other matter relating to the merger,
      and, accordingly, Middleby will not hold a meeting of its stockholders in

      completion of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of common
      stock of TurboChef will be converted into the right to receive 0.0486 of a
      share of Middleby common stock and $3.67 in cash (subject to adjustment in
      certain circumstances to preserve the intended treatment of the merger as
      a &#8220;reorganization&#8221; for United States federal income tax purposes). The
      exchange ratio for shares of Middleby common stock to be received by
      TurboChef stockholders is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock
      price changes prior to the closing. Accordingly, the value of the stock
      consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Middleby common
      stock. Middleby will not issue fractional shares of its common stock.
      Instead, holders of TurboChef common stock will receive cash in lieu of
      the fractional Middleby common share based on the per share closing price
      of Middleby common stock on the last trading day immediately prior to the
      closing of the merger. See &#8220;The Merger Agreement&#8212;Merger Consideration&#8221;

      to the discussion under &#8220;Material United States Federal Income Tax
      Consequences of the Merger,&#8221; in connection with the filing of the
      registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a
      part, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP, counsel to Middleby,
      has delivered an opinion to Middleby, and Paul, Hastings, Janofsky &amp;
      Walker LLP, counsel to TurboChef, has delivered an opinion to TurboChef,
      to the effect that for United States federal income tax purposes (i) the
      merger will qualify as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221; within the meaning of Section
      368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which we refer to
      as the Internal Revenue Code or the Code) and (ii) Middleby, Chef
      Acquisition Corp. and TurboChef will each be a &#8220;party to the
      reorganization&#8221; within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Internal
      Revenue Code. Accordingly, for United States federal income tax purposes,
      United States holders of TurboChef common stock will recognize gain (but
      will not recognize any loss), and the gain recognized will be equal to the
      lesser of (i) any cash received (other than cash received in lieu of a
      fractional share of Middleby common stock) and (ii) the excess of (x) the
      sum of the cash received (other than cash received in lieu of a fractional
      share of Middleby common stock) and the fair market value of the Middleby
      common stock received over (y) the TurboChef common stockholder&#8217;s tax
      basis in the shares of TurboChef common stock exchanged. In addition, the
      TurboChef common stockholder will recognize gain or loss attributable to
      cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Middleby common stock. It
      is also a condition to each of Middleby&#8217;s and TurboChef&#8217;s obligation to
      complete the merger that they receive the aforementioned opinions from
      their respective counsel (or from the other party&#8217;s counsel). Please refer
      to the section entitled &#8220;The Merger&#8212;Material United States Federal Income
      Tax Consequences of the Merger&#8221; beginning on page 61 of this proxy

      unvested restricted stock units that settle in shares of TurboChef common
      stock will become vested as to the number of shares of TurboChef Common
      Stock that are subject to such units as of the Closing. By virtue of the

      receive the merger consideration in respect of such number of TurboChef
      Common Stock that are subject to each unit. At the closing of the merger,

      outstanding option to purchase shares of TurboChef common stock under
      TurboChef&#8217;s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan will be cancelled and converted into
      the right to receive for each share of TurboChef common stock subject to
      such option, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the $3.67
      cash consideration plus (ii) the 0.0486 exchange ratio multiplied by the
      average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of
      Middleby&#8217;s common stock for each of the ten trading days ending on the
      third trading day prior to the Closing over (iii) the applicable exercise
      price. As a result of this formula, if, at the effective time of the
      merger, the exercise price of an option awarded under the TurboChef 2003
      Stock Incentive Plan is greater than the aggregate value of the merger
      consideration, such option will be cancelled and the holder of such option
      will not receive any merger consideration in exchange for such option.

      proxy statement/prospectus. The information for 2004 and 2003 has been
      derived from audited financial statements not incorporated by reference
      herein. The statements of earnings data for the three and nine months
      ended September 29, 2007 and September 27, 2008 and the balance sheet data

      in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the opinion of Middleby&#8217;s
      management, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared

      normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of
      Middleby&#8217;s financial position and results of operations for these periods.

      commencing on those respective acquisition dates, comparisons of

      filing a specific number of patent applications within 18 months of the
      closing date of the transaction. At the time of closing, approximately
      $6.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to purchased research and

      delivery of a specific number of patent applications within 18 months of
      the closing date of the transaction. At the time of closing, approximately
      $6.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to purchased research and

      statements are designed to show how the merger of Middleby and TurboChef
      might have affected the historical financial data of Middleby, giving
      effect to the merger as if it had been consummated at an earlier date. The
      following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
      statements give effect to the merger as if it had been completed on
      September 27, 2008, with respect to the pro forma balance sheet, and as of
      December 31, 2006 (the first day of Middleby&#8217;s fiscal year 2007), with
      respect to the pro forma statement of earnings. The historical financial
      statements have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are
      directly attributable to the merger, factually supportable, and expected
      to have a continuing impact of the combined results. Additionally, the
      following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also
      give effect to the December 31, 2007 Middleby acquisition of New Star
      International Holdings, LLC (&#8220;New Star&#8221;). The unaudited pro forma
      financial statements give effect to the New Star acquisition as if it had
      been completed on December 31, 2006 (first day of Middleby&#8217;s fiscal year
      2007) with respect to the pro forma statement of earnings. Middleby&#8217;s
      statement of earnings for the nine month period ended September 27, 2008
      and the balance sheet at September 27, 2008, include the results of New

      following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
      statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting with
      Middleby treated as the acquiring entity and reflect adjustments, which
      are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the estimated purchase
      price to TurboChef&#8217;s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The
      following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are
      based on TurboChef stockholders receiving 0.0486 of a share of Middleby
      common stock and $3.67 in cash for each share of TurboChef common stock in
      the merger. The purchase price allocation reflected herein is preliminary
      insofar as the final allocation will be based upon the actual purchase
      price, including transaction costs and the actual assets acquired and
      liabilities assumed of TurboChef as of the date of the completion of the
      merger. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
      TurboChef &#8216;s assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as other
      identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Additionally, Middleby has
      yet to complete the detailed valuation studies necessary to finalize the
      purchase price allocation and identify any necessary conforming accounting
      policy changes for TurboChef. Accordingly, the final purchase price

      described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma condensed combined
      financial statements are unaudited and are presented for illustrative
      purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
      statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or
      results of operations that actually would have been realized had the
      merger been competed on the dates indicated above. In addition, the
      following unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to
      project the future financial condition or results of operations of the
      combined company. Middleby management has not completed an evaluation of
      TurboChef&#8217;s accounting policies and practices to determine if they conform
      to Middleby&#8217;s accounting policies and practices. Any changes identified by
      management may impact the future combined results of operations of
      Middleby and TurboChef. The pro forma financial information does not
      include the effects of expected operating synergies and cost savings
      related to the acquisition. The pro forma financial information also does
      not include costs for integrating TurboChef and
  Middleby.</font></div>

      using the purchase method of accounting and represents a current estimate
      based on available information of the combined company&#8217;s results of
      operations for the periods presented. As of the date of this document,
      Middleby has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to
      arrive at the final estimates of the fair market value of the TurboChef
      assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related
      allocations of purchase price. However, Middleby has made certain
      adjustments to the historical book values of the assets and liabilities of
      TurboChef as of September 30, 2008 to reflect certain preliminary
      estimates of the fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma
      combined and pro forma combined equivalent data. The fair value
      adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined data and pro
      forma combined equivalent data represent management&#8217;s estimate of these
      adjustments based upon currently available information. The preliminary
      purchase price allocation assigned value to certain identifiable
      intangible assets of TurboChef, including the trade name, customer
      relationships, and developed technology. Additionally, Middleby has yet to
      complete the detailed valuation studies necessary to finalize the purchase
      price allocation and identify any necessary conforming accounting policy
      changes for TurboChef. Accordingly, the final purchase price allocation,
      which will be determined subsequent to the closing of the merger, may
      differ materially from the preliminary allocation used to calculate the
      pro forma data included in this section, although these amounts represent
      Middleby management&#8217;s best estimates as of the date of this

a result of the merger. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of
TurboChef&#8217;s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as other
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. In accordance with Statement 142,
Middleby&#8217;s long-lived assets (including goodwill and other intangibles) are
reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In
assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, Middleby considers changes in
economic conditions and makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows
and other factors.&#160;&#160;A significant decline in stock prices, such as has
occurred during 2008, could indicate that an impairment has occurred. Estimates
of future cash flows are judgments based on Middleby&#8217;s experience and knowledge
of operations.&#160;&#160;These estimates can be significantly impacted by many
factors including changes in global and local business and economic conditions,
operating costs, inflation, competition, and consumer and demographic
trends.&#160;&#160;If Middleby&#8217;s estimates or the underlying assumptions change
in the future, Middleby may be required to record impairment charges. Any such
charge could have a material adverse effect on Middleby&#8217;s reported net

EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measurement to evaluate
TurboChef&#8217;s operational trends. Items excluded generally represent non-cash
adjustments, the timing and amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated and
are not considered by management when measuring TurboChef&#8217;s overall operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measurement in
the evaluation of TurboChef&#8217;s business and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income, as an indicator of its operating performance, as an
alternative to cash flows from operating activities, or as a measure of
liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and, accordingly, it may
not be a comparable measurement to those used by other companies.</font></div>

purposes of rendering the opinion described above, Goldman Sachs relied upon and

accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, accounting, tax and
other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by it. In that regard,
Goldman Sachs assumed with TurboChef&#8217;s consent that the TurboChef Forecasts and
the Synergies were reasonably prepared and that the Synergies will be realized.
In addition, TurboChef instructed Goldman Sachs that the Middleby Estimates
reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments with respect to
the future financial performance of Middleby. Goldman Sachs did not make an
independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any
contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of
TurboChef, Middleby or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was any such
evaluation or appraisal furnished to Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs also assumed
that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for
the consummation of the merger will be obtained without any adverse effect on
TurboChef or Middleby or on the expected benefits of the merger in any way
meaningful to Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysis. Goldman Sachs&#8217; opinion does not address
any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters nor does it address the
underlying business decision of TurboChef to engage in the merger or the
relative merits of the merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may
be available to TurboChef. Goldman Sachs&#8217; opinion addresses only the fairness
from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, of the
consideration to be received by the holders of TurboChef common stock pursuant
to the merger agreement. Goldman Sachs did not express any view on, and its
opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or
merger, including, without limitation, the fairness of the merger to, or any
consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other
class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of TurboChef or
Middleby; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to
be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of TurboChef
or Middleby, or class of such persons, in connection with the merger, whether
relative to the consideration to be received by the holders of TurboChef common
stock pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs&#8217; opinion was
necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in
effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the
opinion and Goldman Sachs assumes no responsibility for updating, revising or
reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring
after the date of its opinion. In addition, Goldman Sachs does not express any
opinion as to the prices at which shares of Middleby&#8217;s common stock will trade
at any time. Goldman Sachs&#8217; opinion was approved by a fairness committee of
Goldman Sachs.</font></div>

consideration of $6.47 (calculated using the closing price of Middleby common

TurboChef common stock on Monday, August 11, 2008, the closing price of
TurboChef common stock on Friday, August 8, 2008 (since TurboChef&#8217;s stock
increased by 6.7% in the last hour of trading on Monday, August 11, 2008 for

common stock of $57.60 as of August 11, 2008), (b) the closing price of
TurboChef common stock as of August 11, 2008, (c) the TurboChef Forecasts and
(d) the TurboChef Forecasts excluding TurboChef&#8217;s Residential kitchen equipment
business. At the request of the TurboChef board of directors, Goldman Sachs
performed certain analyses excluding TurboChef&#8217;s residential kitchen equipment
business because the business was incurring losses and prospective acquirors may
have considered excluding the business from a potential transaction with
TurboChef or discontinuing the business following an acquisition of TurboChef.
The multiples and ratios for each of the selected companies were based on the
most recent publicly available information, financial data obtained from those
companies&#8217; public filings, the closing price of the selected companies&#8217;
respective common shares as of August 11, 2008 and IBES forecasts. With respect
to the selected companies, Goldman Sachs calculated the following and compared
them to the results for TurboChef:</font></div>

each of the merger and the selected transactions, Goldman Sachs calculated and
compared, where available, EV as a multiple of last twelve months (&#8220;LTM&#8221;) sales,
EV as a multiple of LTM EBITDA, and EV as a multiple of LTM earnings before
interest and taxes (&#8220;EBIT&#8221;). Multiples for the merger were based on the implied
merger consideration per share of $6.47 (calculated using the closing price of
Middleby common stock of $57.60 as of August 11, 2008) and financial information
provided by TurboChef management (both for TurboChef and TurboChef excluding its
Residential kitchen equipment business). Multiples for the selected transactions
were based on publicly available information. While none of the target companies
that participated in the selected transactions are directly comparable to
TurboChef, the companies have operations that, for the purposes of analysis, may
be considered broadly similar to certain operations of TurboChef. The results of
these analyses are set forth below.</font></div>

Goldman Sachs prepared illustrative pro forma analyses of the potential
financial impact of the merger. Using the TurboChef Forecasts and Middleby
Estimates, Goldman Sachs compared the estimated EPS of Middleby for the years
2009 and 2010, on a standalone basis, to the estimated EPS of the combined
company for the years 2009 and 2010, on a pro forma basis, taking into account
the Synergies. Goldman Sachs performed the same analyses taking into account the
annual benefit Middleby would receive from utilizing TurboChef&#8217;s net operating
loss, and also taking into account the Synergies. The results of these analyses
are summarized below:</font></div>

Sachs calculated the median of the premiums paid in (i) all merger transactions
with U.S. targets and an equity value of over $100 million during the period
2006 to 2008YTD and (ii) all merger transactions with U.S. targets in industrial
and natural resource industries and an equity value of over $100 million during
the period 2006 to 2008YTD, in each case as derived from the SDC Domestic Merger
database. Goldman Sachs calculated the median of the premiums based on the
consideration paid in the relevant transaction relative to the closing price of
the target&#8217;s common stock one month, one week and one day, respectively, prior
to the announcement of the relevant merger. Goldman Sachs compared such median
of the premiums to the corresponding premium for the merger. The results of

Goldman Sachs performed a discounted cash flow analysis on TurboChef, using the
TurboChef Forecasts. Goldman Sachs calculated indications of net present value
of free cash flow for TurboChef for the fourth quarter of 2008 and the years
2009 through 2012, using discount rates ranging from 17.0% to 21.0%. Goldman
Sachs calculated illustrative terminal values in the year 2012 based on exit
multiples ranging from 5.0x EBITDA to 11.0x EBITDA. These illustrative terminal
values were then discounted to present value using discount rates ranging from
17.0 to 21.0%. This analysis resulted in an illustrative range of equity values
per share of TurboChef common stock of $4.10 to $7.68. Goldman Sachs also
performed the same discounted cash flow analysis using TurboChef&#8217;s Forecasts,
but excluding TurboChef&#8217;s Residential kitchen equipment business. This analysis
resulted in an illustrative range of equity values per share of TurboChef common
stock of $4.74 to $8.44.</font></div>

Sachs also performed a discounted cash flow analysis on TurboChef, using
standard business sensitivities to the TurboChef Forecasts for sales growth and

(&#8220;CAGR&#8221;) of sales ranging from 2.5% to 22.5% for 2009 to 2012 (the TurboChef

TurboChef, using business sensitivities to the TurboChef Forecasts but excluding
TurboChef&#8217;s Residential kitchen equipment business. Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysis
assumed estimated CAGR of sales ranging from 5% to 15% for 2009 to 2012 in

Analysis</font>. Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative analysis of the future
value of each share of TurboChef common stock, on a TurboChef standalone basis
and on a pro forma basis assuming consummation of the merger. This analysis is
designed to provide an indication of a theoretical future value of each share of
TurboChef common stock as a function of (i) in the TurboChef standalone case,
TurboChef&#8217;s estimated 2009 and 2010 EBITDA and its assumed EV to EBITDA multiple
range of 5.0x to 11.0x and (ii) in the pro forma case, the combined company&#8217;s
estimated 2009 and 2010 EPS and the combined company&#8217;s assumed price to earnings
multiple range of 11.0x to 19.0x. In performing this analysis, Goldman Sachs
used, per guidance from TurboChef management (i) in the TurboChef standalone
case, estimated 2009 EBITDA of $2.5 million to $15.0 million (the TurboChef
Forecasts reflect $8.7 million estimated EBITDA for 2009) and estimated 2010
EBITDA of $7.5 million to $22.5 million (the TurboChef Forecasts reflect $16.0
million estimated EBITDA for 2010) and (ii) in the pro forma case, estimated
2009 EPS of $4.00 to $5.25 (the TurboChef Forecasts, the Middleby Estimates and
the Synergies reflect $4.38 estimated EPS for 2009) and estimated 2010 EPS of
$4.50 to $6.25 (the TurboChef Forecasts, the Middleby Estimates and Synergies
reflect $5.12 estimated EPS for 2010). Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysis assumed in the
pro forma case that the cash portion of the merger consideration is tax free and
is reinvested at an annual rate of 6%. This analysis resulted in a range of
illustrative future values of each share of TurboChef common stock of (i) in the
TurboChef standalone case, $0.43 to $5.29 in 2009 and $1.23 to $7.82 in 2010 and
(ii) in the pro forma case, $6.03 to $8.74 in 2009 and $6.53 to $9.89 in
2010.</font></div>

EBITDA of $15.0 million to $32.5 million (the TurboChef Forecasts excluding the

should be aware that members of the TurboChef board of directors and executive
officers have interests in the merger other than their interests as TurboChef
stockholders generally. These interests may be different from, or in conflict
with, the interests of TurboChef stockholders generally. Members of the
TurboChef board of directors were aware of these additional interests, and
considered them, when they approved the merger agreement. While formation of a
special committee was considered, the board ultimately determined that one would
not be necessary. Consequently, all matters relating to the transaction were

      A TurboChef common stockholder who exchanges his or her shares of
      TurboChef common stock for cash (other than cash in lieu of a fractional
      share of Middleby common stock) and shares of Middleby common stock
      pursuant to the merger will recognize gain (but will not recognize any
      loss), and the gain recognized will be equal to the lesser of (i) any cash

      the TurboChef common stockholder&#8217;s tax basis in the shares of TurboChef

      that was purchased by the TurboChef common stockholder in the same
      transaction, and a loss realized on one block of stock may not be used to

      advisor regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be computed for
      different blocks of TurboChef common stock surrendered in the merger. Any

      Notwithstanding the above, if the cash received (other than cash in lieu
      of a fractional share of Middleby common stock) has the effect of a
      distribution of a dividend, any recognized gain will be treated as a
      dividend to the extent of the TurboChef stockholder&#8217;s ratable share of
      accumulated earnings and profits as computed for United States federal
      income tax purposes. The determination of whether any gain recognized in
      the merger will be treated as capital gain or dividend income will depend
      upon whether, and to what extent, the exchange in the merger reduces the
      TurboChef common stockholder&#8217;s deemed percentage ownership interest in
      Middleby after the merger. For purposes of this determination, a TurboChef
      common stockholder will be treated as if he or she first exchanged all of
      his or her shares of TurboChef common stock solely for shares of Middleby
      common stock and then Middleby immediately redeemed a portion of those
      shares in exchange for the cash that the TurboChef common stockholder
      actually received (excluding cash received in lieu of a fractional share
      of Middleby common stock). In determining whether the receipt of cash has
      the effect of a distribution of a dividend, the Code&#8217;s constructive
      ownership rules must be taken into account. The IRS has indicated in
      rulings that any reduction in the interest of a minority stockholder who
      owns a small number of shares in a publicly and widely held corporation
      and who exercises no control over corporate affairs would result in
      capital gain as opposed to dividend treatment. Each TurboChef common
      stockholder should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the
      application of these rules.</font></div>

      Section 262, where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a

      Written Demand.</font> Any holder of TurboChef common stock wishing to
      exercise appraisal rights must deliver to TurboChef, before the vote on
      the merger proposal at the TurboChef special meeting, a written demand for
      the appraisal of the stockholder&#8217;s shares, and that stockholder must not
      vote in favor of the merger proposal. A holder of shares of TurboChef
      common stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the
      shares on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must
      continue to hold the shares of record through the closing date of the
      merger, since appraisal rights will be lost if the shares are transferred
      prior to the effective date of the merger. The holder must not vote in
      favor of the merger proposal. A proxy that is submitted and does not
      contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the
      merger proposal, and it will constitute a waiver of the stockholder&#8217;s
      right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written
      demand for appraisal. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who
      wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing
      instructions to vote against the merger proposal or abstain from voting on
      the merger proposal. Neither voting against the merger proposal, nor
      abstaining from voting or failing to vote on the merger proposal, will in
      and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the
      requirements of Section 262. The written demand for appraisal must be in
      addition to and separate from any proxy or vote on the merger proposal.
      The demand must reasonably inform TurboChef of the identity of the
      stockholder as well as the intention of the stockholder to demand an
      appraisal of the &#8220;fair value&#8221; of the shares held by the holder. A
      stockholder&#8217;s failure to make the written demand prior to the taking of
      the vote on the merger proposal at the TurboChef special meeting will
      constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.</font></div>

      appraisal and accept the terms offered pursuant to the merger agreement by

      for appraisal. However, any such attempt to withdraw the demand made more
      than 60 days after the effective date of the merger will require written

      but not thereafter, the surviving corporation or any holder of TurboChef
      common stock who has complied with Section 262 and is entitled to
      appraisal rights under Section 262 may commence an appraisal proceeding by
      filing a petition with the Court demanding a determination of the fair
      value of the shares held by all dissenting holders. The surviving
      corporation is under no obligation to, and has no present intention to,
      file a petition, and holders should not assume that the surviving
      corporation will file a petition. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the
      holders of TurboChef common stock to initiate all necessary action to
      perfect their appraisal rights in respect of shares of TurboChef common
      stock within the time prescribed in Section 262. Within 120 days after the
      effective date of the merger, any holder of TurboChef common stock who has
      complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights will be
      entitled, upon written request, to receive from the surviving corporation
      a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in
      favor of the merger proposal and with respect to which demands for
      appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such
      shares. The statement must be mailed within ten days after a written
      request therefor has been received by the surviving corporation or within
      ten days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for
      appraisal, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person who
      is the beneficial owner of shares of TurboChef common stock held either in
      a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such
      person&#8217;s own name, file a petition or request from TurboChef the statement

      consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger if they did not
      seek appraisal of their shares and that an investment banking opinion as
      to fairness from a financial point of view is not necessarily an opinion
      as to fair value under Section 262. Although TurboChef believes that the
      merger consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome
      of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Court, and
      stockholders should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a
      determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the merger
      consideration. Neither Middleby nor TurboChef anticipate offering more
      than the applicable merger consideration to any stockholder exercising
      appraisal rights, and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal
      proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262, the &#8220;fair value&#8221; of a share

Middleby common stock on November 25, 2008, the latest practicable
trading date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the 0.0486
of a share of Middleby common stock and $3.67 in cash represented approximately

on the number of shares of TurboChef common stock outstanding as of November
25, 2008, TurboChef stockholders and holders of options, restricted stock
units and preferred unit exchange rights will receive a total merger
consideration of approximately $ 116,267,101 in cash and
1,539,668 &#160;shares of Middleby common stock, subject to the receipt of
cash in respect of fractional shares as described below. Based on the number of
shares of Middleby common stock expected to be issued in the merger and the
number of shares of Middleby common stock outstanding on the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus, upon the closing of the merger it is expected that
TurboChef&#8217;s former stockholders will own approximately 8.3 % of the then
outstanding Middleby common stock. The above share number and percentage will
fluctuate based on changes in outstanding Middleby and TurboChef shares prior to
the closing.</font></div>

issuing new shares of Middleby common stock in the merger, each outstanding
share of Middleby common stock immediately prior to the merger will represent a
smaller percentage of the total number of shares of Middleby common stock
outstanding after the merger. Holders of TurboChef securities before the merger

merger agreement provides that immediately prior to the Closing all unvested
restricted stock units that settle in shares of TurboChef common stock will
become vested as to the number of shares of TurboChef Common Stock that are
subject to such units as of the Closing. By virtue of the merger each such unit
will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger
consideration in respect of such number of TurboChef Common Stock that are
subject to each unit. At the closing of the merger, TurboChef shall terminate
the TurboChef 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and each outstanding option to purchase
shares of TurboChef common stock, other than options under TurboChef&#8217;s 1994
Stock Option Plan to be assumed by Middleby in the merger, will be cancelled in
exchange for the right to receive a cash payment for each share underlying such
option equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the $3.67 cash consideration payable
in respect of the shares of TurboChef common stock plus (ii) 0.0486 multiplied
by the value of a share of Middleby common stock over (iii) the exercise price
of the unexercised options. The value of a share of Middleby common stock for
these purposes will be determined based on the average of the last reported
sales price of Middleby common stock at the end of regular trading hours on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market for the ten trading days ending on the third
business day prior to the closing date of the merger. As a result of this
formula, if, at the effective time of the merger, the exercise price of an
option awarded under the TurboChef 2003 Stock Incentive Plan is greater than the
aggregate value of the cash consideration otherwise payable, such option will be
cancelled and the holder of such option will not receive any cash consideration

merger is structured to qualify as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221; within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code, and Middleby and TurboChef have each received
opinions to that effect from their respective counsel in connection with the
filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus
forms a part. In addition, it is a condition to each of Middleby&#8217;s and
TurboChef&#8217;s obligation to complete the merger that they receive the
aforementioned opinions from their respective counsel (or from the othe rparty&#8217;s
counsel) dated the closing date of the merger. In order to qualify as a
&#8220;reorganization,&#8221; at least 40% of the total consideration received by the
TurboChef stockholders must be in the form of Middleby stock (as determined on
the last business day before the date on which the merger agreement was
executed). To preserve the intended United States federal income tax treatment
of the merger as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221;, the merger agreement provides for an
adjustment to the amount of cash and Middleby stock received by each TurboChef
stockholders in the event that TurboChef (or its successor) is required to pay
cash to TurboChef stockholders who properly perfect appraisal rights with
respect to their shares of TurboChef common stock. If cash payments are required
with respect to dissenting shares, the cash consideration payable to
non-dissenters for each share of TurboChef common stock will be reduced pro
rata, and the Middleby stock consideration (and exchange ratio) payable to
non-dissenters for each share of TurboChef common stock will correspondingly be
increased pro rata, by an aggregate amount equal to the cash paid with respect
to dissenting shares that exceeds the $3.67 in cash per share that otherwise
would have been paid.</font></div>

exceptions, an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years owned, 15% or more of the

accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with

would be an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; to effect various business combinations
with a corporation for a three year period. The provisions of Section 203 could
encourage companies interested in acquiring Middleby to negotiate in advance
with the Middleby board of directors because the stockholder approval
requirement would be avoided if the Middleby board of directors approves either
the business combinations or the transactions that result in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder. Section 203 also may make it more difficult
to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their
best interests.</font></div>

Middleby&#8217;s second amended and restated bylaws provide that in order for a
stockholder to make a nomination or propose business at an annual meeting of
stockholders, the stockholder must give timely written notice to Middleby&#8217;s
secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary
date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">provided</font>, <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">however</font>, that if the annual
meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so
received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day
on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public
disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first.
These provisions could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before
Middleby&#8217;s annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for
directors at Middleby&#8217;s annual meeting of stockholders by limiting the window of
time available to present such matters to Middleby for presentation to
stockholders at such annual meeting.</font></div>

stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder
approval, subject to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D), which generally
requires that an issuer obtain approval from its stockholders in connection with
the sale, issuance or potential issuance of common stock (or securities
convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the
common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance.
These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes,
including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate
acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but
unissued shares could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to
obtain control of Middleby by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or
otherwise. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes
it possible for the Middleby board of directors to issue preferred stock with
voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any
attempt to effect a change of control of Middleby.</font></div><br>

the attention of our Secretary at TurboChef&#8217;s principal executive office in a
timely manner before TurboChef sends out its proxy materials. For the 2009
annual meeting of TurboChef stockholders, such a proposal should be submitted
sufficiently far in advance that it is received no later than April 27, 2009.
Proxy voting on proposals, if any, received after that date will be subject to
the discretionary voting authority of the designated proxy holders.</font></div>

      of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal
      rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice,
      demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the
      appraisal of such holder&#8217;s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it
      reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and

      holder&#8217;s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the

      notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date;
      provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days
      following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be
      sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has
      demanded appraisal of such holder&#8217;s shares in accordance with this
      subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the
      transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice
      that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima
      facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining
      the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent
      corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than
      10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the
      notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or
      consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record
      date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the
      record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the

the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who

for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their

pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply
with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such

the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal
proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of
Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings.
Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares
exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation
of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon
the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the
Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its
discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the
effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall
be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount
rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the
period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the
judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any
stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may,
in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final
determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder
whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation
pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such
stockholder&#8217;s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is
required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally
determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this
section.</font></div>

entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case
of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares

certificate of incorporation provides generally for indemnification of
Middleby&#8217;s directors, officers, employees and other agents, to the fullest
extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
&#8220;DGCL&#8221;). Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation generally has the
power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and
agents against expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by them in
connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a
party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of a corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, they
had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to
suits by or in the right of a corporation, however, indemnification is not
available if such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct
in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court determines
that indemnification is appropriate.</font></div>

indemnification includes, but is not limited to, payment by Middleby of expenses
incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the
final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking
by the person indemnified to repay such payments if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the law. Middleby also
has directors&#8217; and officer&#8217;s liability insurance coverage which insures its
directors and officers against specific liabilities.</font></div>

personal liability for monetary damages to Middleby and its stockholders arising
from a breach of a director&#8217;s fiduciary duty, except for liability: (i) for any
breach of the director&#8217;s duty of loyalty to Middleby or its stockholders; (ii)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any
public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to
the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as
a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until
such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></div>

filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an
