AMOREM Dietary Team Attends Culinary Clinic
AMOREM’s Lead Dietary Specialist, Tina Avery, and Director of Facility Services, Jeanna Wilson, attended Premier and US Food’s annual culinary clinic where Avery and her team placed second in the clinic’s culinary competition.
This year’s event was titled, Slicing and Dicing with the Director. Culinary teams from all over the United States joined together in Fort Mills, South Carolina, to gain education, collaborate with other dietary teams across the United States and make use of their competitive skills in the culinary industry.
“There is always a culinary competition at the end of the clinic,” says Wilson, “this year, they created ‘chaos in the kitchen’ and broke up teams so that different organizations had the opportunity to work with one another.”
The competition portion of the clinic included three hands-on skill demonstrations with executive chefs from three different food vendors. After the demonstrations, teams made up of members from various organizations planned, prepped and executed culinary specialties to compete against one another.
“Everyone in attendance had an absolute blast,” says Avery, “My team, the ‘dream team’ won second place! We are so thankful for AMOREM for investing in our dietary team and providing us with the opportunity to fine-tune our skills each year. We will certainly bring our A-game again next year!”
