OVERVIEW

The Battle of the Hospital Chefs, held in conjunction with the Consorta Source Conference & Exhibition 2007, will pit hospital chefs against one another as they have one hour to prepare a healthy menu consisting of a protein, a starch, a vegetable and a beverage. Dishes will be judged originality & creativity, taste, nutritional balance, quality plate presentation, ease of production, cost effectiveness, appropriateness for a hospital setting.

From all entries received, preliminary judges will select the finalists, who, along with one other staff member to serve as a Sous chef, will receive an all-expense paid trip to Chicago to compete for the top prize. Celebrity judges will select the winner, who will receive a specially designed trophy, as well as national, local and regional recognition for their recipe(s) and their hospital.
