Cuisine with a Cause: Messiah’s Dining Services earns the “People’s Choice Award” at the “Taste of Central Pennsylvania” fundraiser for the Central PA Food Bank
November 4th, 2009
More than 2,000 guests attended the 22nd annual “Taste of Central Pennsylvania,” held on Nov. 2 at Strawberry Square in Harrisburg. Attendees at the appetizing event enjoy food and beverage tastings prepared by culinary teams from the finest restaurants and dining venues from across Central Pennsylvania—including Messiah College.
Messiah was one of 45 regional restaurants, businesses and organizations that donated food and culinary talent to the fundraiser, which this year raised more than $100,000 to help hungry families in the midstate. (This is Messiah College’s twelfth year to participate in the event.) In addition to revenue from ticket proceeds, guests may leave additional monetary donations at individual booths as a show of appreciation and enjoyment for the food being served. This year, Messiah’s booth generated the most donations among the individual culinary teams—earning them the event’s prestigious “People’s Choice Award.”
The Messiah culinary team, led by Executive Chef Percell Green, was also comprised of Scott Douville, Ana Marrero, Beverly Spangler and Andrew White. They prepared and served two of Messiah College’s signature items, “Baby Blue Salad Parfait” (made with mesclun salad greens, spicy pecans, strawberries, mandarin oranges, balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese) and “Chocolate Mousse Indulgence.” Bon appétit!
