1 comment November 3rd, 2009
The days of pureed peas and lukewarm meatloaf are gone at today’s retirement communities.
So says the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, which is hosting its own “Iron Chef” competition Monday through Wednesday at McCcormick Place Lakeside Center in Chicago. The group has 5,300 member organizations.
Christina Fox of Wesley Willows Retirement Community in Rockford is among competitors from the Chicago area and Maryland and California as well who will race against the clock to create dishes using a secret ingredient. Area chefs will judge their culinary creations.
I’ll follow up to see how Fox fares.
