at Cheffin Up Cook-Off
September 21, 2011!
Independent Living's Chef Michael was voted TOP CHEF at NHC's Cheffin Up Cook-Off held September 21, 2011 at AdamsPlace. 4 NHC Chefs each received a mystery basket with identical food items and had to create two entrees. A panel of 12 judged each dish on Appearance, Creativity and Taste. Each Judge had to raise $125 to participate, there was a wine tasting and judging contest, and a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the annual Alzheimer Association's Walk to Remember. Congratulations Chef Michael!
