    Posted on by

    Executive Chef Curtis Bangs was awarded a Northeast Region silver medal from the National Association of College University Food Services (NACUFS) Culinary Challenge for his exceptional dish: chicken roulade with purple pommes purée, sautéed carrots, and pâté cream sauce. The Culinary Challenge took place in Myrtle Beach Convention Center on the first night of the NACUFS Spring Conference.

    Launched in 2001 and adjudicated by the American Culinary Federation (ACF), the NACUFS Culinary Challenge celebrates the exceptional culinary talent in collegiate food service. Each year, chefs create an original, nutritionally balanced dish featuring a designated protein, competing on organization, technique, and taste—all judged on a 100-point scale.
