United Fresh Produce Honors Onsite Operators

Three onsite foodservice professionals were among the six recipients of the United Fresh Produce Excellence in Foodservice Awards from the United Fresh Produce Association. The three are...

Martin Breslin, director of culinary operations at Harvard University Dining Services (B&I/Colleges category);

Jacques Wilson, executive chef at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, CA (Hotels/Healthcare category); and

Jenilee McComb, director of childhood nutrition programs at Provo (UT) School District (K-12 Schools category).

Sponsored by Pro*Act LLC, the awards program honors chefs for their innovative uses of produce in the culinary arts. Over a hundred nominations were submitted by UFPA members among the six categories, which also included casual, quick-serve and fine-dining restaurants. The winners will be presented their awards during the 2011 United Fresh convention in New Orleans May 2-5.
