Univ. medical center hires vendor to boost patient satisfaction

In an effort to improve patient satisfaction, the University of Mississippi Medical Center has chosen Morrison Management to provide foodservices at its three hospitals.

The expansion follows successful pilot programs at two elementary schools and one high school.

Since the program’s implementation in 2013, one district has used $77,000 from its reserve fund annually to break even.

New concepts being added at the university include Star Ginger, an Asian fusion spot developed by award-winning chef Mai Pham.

One of the reasons behind the push is to keep more purchasing dollars in the state.

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has a salad bar of 30-plus items, and changes the theme of the salad bar every two weeks. That keeps the bar fresh and different.

From pit-roasted whole hogs to smokehouse brisket, barbecue celebrates the time-honored techniques and traditions of regions from central Texas to Memphis.

Chef Larry Posen's "Streets of Chicago" station at University Center In Chicago remakes ethnic dishes, including Tikka Masala inspired by Little India.

Unorthodox equipment is making its mark on catering, with some operators finding that creativity doesn’t have to be a budget-buster. Goodbye, chafing dish.
