Dr. Val & The Gluten-Free Cooking Spree

April 26th, 2007 by Dr. Val Jones in Announcements

What do you get when you confess on your blog to having a
love affair with food and a history of a GI disorder?  You get invited to attend a really cool event,
a sort of Iron Chef meets Scrubs, right here in Washington DC!

Yes my friends, I’ve been invited to participate in a
gluten-free cook off hosted by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness and
moderated by CNN’s news anchor Heidi Collins.
I’m going to be teamed up with a chef in a gluten-free cooking
contest.  I’m not sure how the chef will
want me to participate – but I’m hoping that I get to do a little more than pot
stirring and taste testing.  There will
be three teams, and 9 healthcare professionals – including 4 docs, 3
pharmacists, 1 nurse, and 1 dietician.
Given hospitals’ reputation for culinary mediocrity, I’m not sure that
we bring any credibility to the contest – but if anyone chokes, we’ll
resuscitate promptly.

The contest is on May 4^th in the evening… maybe
you can catch us on a cable channel with a high number?  All proceeds go to Celiac disease research
and awareness programs.This post originally appeared on Dr. Val’s blog at RevolutionHealth.com.
