The Battle of the Tomato Divide: The competition will be fierce, no matter how you slice it

Who: Shawn Casey, Director of Culinary Services at Atria Franklin, has challenged Jerry Thornton, Author & Radio Host, to a cooking competition as part of Atria Senior Living’s annual Chef Showdown. The Chef Showdown is a culinary competition taking place at more than 200 Atria communities across the U.S. and Canada. Atria residents, their families, the general public and media are invited to attend.

What: Jerry Thornton and Shawn Casey, Director of Culinary Services, will go head-to-head in a cooking showdown with only one rule: All recipes must include summer’s most highly disputed ingredient, the tomato. The competition will be judged by a panel of leaders in the local community.

Why: Atria Senior Living has earned a reputation for culinary experiences that are nutritious, creative and delightful for the residents and families we serve. We also believe people belong together, which is why we continuously look for partnerships and opportunities that allow our residents to engage with the broader community outside the walls of our buildings – with the goal of creating fun, rewarding events for everyone involved.
