The Ithaca College Dining Services team is buzzing with excitement since their dishes took home First Place in Most Creative Mac N Cheese at Foodnet Mac 'n Cheese Bowl to support Meals On Wheels. This marks the second year in a row our team has placed #1 in this category.
Last week's competition, which drew some of the best chefs in Ithaca, was fierce, but Ithaca College's dishes shined. The following signature creations from Executive Chef Kevin Grant were standouts among the patrons, who praised the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
1) Tweaked Greek - a fresh Mac and Cheese topped with Tapenade with Ouzo, Slow Roasted Tomato, Confit Garlic, Basil Oil & Goat Cheese
2) Man of La Manchego - a gourmet dream with Manchego, Confit Fennel, Crispy Shallots & Tear Drop Pepper
3) Chicken Tikka Masala - a flavor bomb topped with Fried Chicken, Tikka Sauce, and Tamarind Mint Chutney
Ithaca College Dining Services' win in the competition is a testament to our dedication to our craft and love for food.
We look forward to featuring these award-winning dishes on campus at Towers Eatery in Fall 2023.
