EYES ON THE PRIZE—A BIG ONE
|
Not feeling much love these days at your restaurant job? We’ve got
a prestigious and lucrative option for you—provided you’re 38 or
younger, were born outside the U.S. but are now a naturalized citizen or
green card holder, and have worked in foodservice for at least five
years. Apply for the 2010 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in the
Culinary Arts, which will award $25,000 to a foreign-born chef, artisan
or innovator who “demonstrates outstanding early achievement.”
It’s kind of a vague standard, but so what: even the four runners-up
get $5,000 apiece. What have you got to lose?

out the company’s innovative approach to deep-frying that uses
centrifugal force to remove excess oil (and hence, calories) from
deep-fried foods. It’s new technology, but the track record of
55-year-old foodservice equipment manufacturer/licenser Broaster Co. has
already demonstrated that the less-oil-in-fried-food approach makes
money.
