Congratulations to Oglethorpe Dining Commons Sous Chef Robert Clark for his achievement at the UMASS Amherst Culinary Conference.
Clark competed along with other chefs in a culinary competition, and their team earned an American Culinary Federation-sanctioned Silver Medal.
The UMASS Amherst Culinary Conference is a renowned platform that provides the college and university dining community with hands-on training, education, insight and collaboration with scientists, culinarians and operators.
Clark competed with chefs from the University of Guelph and North Carolina State University. The team was in need of a fourth member, and Clark stepped in at the last minute. Their challenge was a hot food mystery basket competition where all of the items in a secret box had to be used in the menu, in addition to other competition criteria.
