Judges

Congratulations, Chef Cory!

Chef Cory Tomiano competed in the Zero Waste Challenge at Brooklyn Navy Yards this week as a stellar way to end the NYC Food Waste Fair. From soup kitchen cooks to Michelin star chefs, the Zero Waste Challenge brought together some of New York City’s most creative culinary leaders in an opportunity to compete for the best upcycled, zero food waste recipes. 

Cory and his culinary team (Dahlia, Tyler and Jeff) prepared a delicious Gochujang Hanger Steak & Vegetable Stem Tacos with Rainbow Chard Stem Kimchi, which ended up winning first place in the Popular Vote. Guests were able to taste each of the 8 chef-prepared dishes and text in a code to vote for their favorite dishes.
