Field Trips... do a body good.

This week we went on 2 field trips!

Tuesday:
On Tuesday we went with Sister McGuire to the Davis County School District central kitchen. It was AMAZING to see the massive equipment and unique production system that they have developed. They also fed us a fabulous lunch. Then we went to Huntsman Cancer and met with the outpatient dietitian that gave us a tour. The facility was incredibly classy and it was an interesting job to learn about. Finally we made our way to the U and heard from a research nutritionist. She was very informative about that career path and Annie may have found her niche.

Thursday:
Dr. Nyland and Sister Mitchell went with us to SYSCO to tour the facility and have lunch. Dick and Rob were nice enough to give us an in depth tour and answer all of our questions about the system they have. We were exposed to beef selection methods and are well prepared to purchase quality BEEF. We also consumed large quantities of fried Asian treats for lunch and followed that up with some tasty cheesecake bites. Our final stop was to the U to see their new kitchen, cafeteria, and patient service system. We were all highly impressed with the new facility and grateful for the tour.
