VERO BEACH, Fla.—Watercrest Senior Living Group is thrilled to congratulate Chef Ryan Gorsuch, executive chef of Market Street Memory Care Residence Viera, as first-place winner in the Best Chef of Brevard County Senior Living culinary competition.
More than 400 community members, businesses, and judges gathered for the highly anticipated Ultimate Chef competition naming the best chef in Brevard County senior living. Gorsuch dazzled the crowds with his mozzarella-spaghetti-stuffed meatball appetizer, beating out more than 20 competitors and taking home first place for Judge’s Choice.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as Top Chef in Brevard County,” says Executive Chef Gorsuch, “and a fantastic opportunity to showcase the fresh and diverse culinary choices offered at Market Street Viera. Our associates take pride in providing our seniors with excellent service and exceptional dining experiences.”
Sponsored by One Senior Place, the Ultimate Chef competition drew hundreds of attendees, vendors and culinary competitors to the Space Coast Health Foundation Center for Collaboration. Attendees sampled dozens of tasty appetizers and enjoyed giveaways and information from the senior living communities of Brevard.
At Market Street Viera, Gorsuch and his team deliver fresh, locally grown, seasonal ingredients prepared with impeccable attention to detail. With spacious and exquisitely designed eating areas, residents enjoy culinary experiences that liven the senses in a resort-style environment.
