“Food is such an important part of quality of life. We strive to make the best food every day for our residents,” said Steven Brustein, General Manager of Dining Services at OceanView. “The soup challenge is a great way to share our culinary talents with the community and getting their approval is fantastic validation.”
OceanView residents enjoy fresh soups daily at our multiple dining venues across campus. Chef Jill Bookataub can be seen here serving a steaming bowl at our Gazebo Grille Café during lunch.
Judges awarded plaques to winners in three categories: Best Soup, Best Chowder and Best Chili. Attendees submitted ballots for the People’s Choice Award to select the overall winner.
