Northwell Health takes its food seriously. Pitting hospital against hospital, the healthcare giant is in its 12th year of sponsoring a Chef’s Challenge in which teams of chefs, cooks and dietitians from among its 21 medical facilities vie for the top spot. This year, three teams got to the finals: Lenox Hill in Manhattan, a combined team from Plainview and Syosset Hospitals on Long Island and Phelps.
Each group of culinary masters were given just 90 minutes to whip up an appetizer, an entrée and dessert while following Northwell’s rigorous nutrition guidelines. In the end, it was Phelps, led by Executive Chef Andrew Cain, that took top honors.
