Daniel Scott Gorman, 26, tournant chef at the Inn at Little Washington, VA, took top honors in the Chaine's national young chefs competition June 8 in Chicago. He was the Mid-Atlantic regional winner and vied against nine other regional winners from throughout the U.S. and Caribbean Islands at the culinary school of Kendall College in Chicago. "In my opinion," stated Conseiller Culinaire et des Professionnels National Heinz Hofmann, "what set Daniel apart from the rest of the field were his organizational skills surrounding his workplace and the surpreme cleanliness of his work. His food was by far the most savory and balanced of all presented. His plates were clean and not overloaded, and his portioning was just right." Gorman will compete for the international title September 6 in Istanbul, Turkey. |
