St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, N.Y., recently celebrated its second consecutive win at the Healthcare Culinary Challenge, a contest between three of New York’s hospitals and healthcare organizations, according to an article on the Total Food website.
The competition is in a format styled after Top Chef and Iron Chef America.
The event is put on by the New York Chapter of the National Association for Healthcare Foodservice, an organization working toward “developing leaders and transforming foodservice”.
The event was one and a half hours total, with half an hour to plan a menu and the rest of the time to cook a three course meal. The secret ingredient was a whole salmon.
