IRON CHEF CBU competition focuses on culinary talent in ADC
Chef Ismael Gomez was crowned CBU’s Iron Chef in stiff competition that unfolded in the Alumni Dining Commons Nov. 8. His dish, Pork Loin Two Ways, proved to be the favorite among those who sampled the dishes and then registered their votes. The other creations included Beef Adobo Wrapped in a Banana Leaf, prepared by Chef Sergio SantaMaria; Cioppino on
a Bed of Linguine, by Chef Giuseppe Pitruzzello; and Chicken, Pear & Gorgonzola Pizza, prepared by Chef Lisa Cabrera.
“The Iron Chef Competition was designed as an opportunity to showcase the culinary talents of our Provider Contract Food Service team on the CBU campus,” stated Provider’s Owner Rodney Couch. “The buzz of excitement was unmistakable in the ADC, with everyone so excited to sample the specially-prepared entrees. The comments were tremendously positive, and the Provider chefs were thrilled to hear such wonderful praise for their creations. We will be adding this competition as an annual event!” More than 250 students, faculty and staff participated in the vote after tasting all four dishes. In addition, students could enter a drawing for a $25 gift card. The winner was Delaia Fedrico.
