Congratulations to our Sous Chef Aaron Braun on winning both Judges’ Choice and the final cook off at Miami Valley Meals’ Diced in Dayton! Aaron led the team, with Executive Chef Brian Griffey cooking alongside him.
For the tasting and voting round, they prepared Pastitsio using mystery ingredients including kale, eggs, and DLM Asiago Garlic Cheese Dip, as well as Lamb Bolognese with orange and rosemary. In the final cook off, their vegetarian mushroom stir fried rice with squash earned them the championship.
We’re incredibly proud of Aaron and Brian and glad they could support Miami Valley Meals’ work to address hunger in our community.
Congratulations Aaron and Brian!
