This February, Vanderbilt Campus Dining鈥檚 Training Chef Doug Best took part in the 32nd annual Soup Sunday, a beloved Nashville tradition benefiting Our Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to providing medical evaluations and crisis counseling for children and families affected by child sexual abuse.听
Held at Nissan Stadium, this year鈥檚 event welcomed over 1,000 attendees, all eager to sample soups crafted by some of Nashville鈥檚 top chefs. Chef Best, representing both Campus
听Dining and the American Culinary Federation, joined dozens of local
听restaurants in serving up signature soups in a friendly competition. Categories included People鈥檚 Choice, Judges鈥� Choice, and Best Sandwich-Inspired Soup, but at its core, the event was about more than just food鈥攊t was about community impact.听
鈥淪oup Sunday is an incredible event, not just for the food but for the people it helps,鈥� shared Chef Best.听
For over 30 years, Soup Sunday has raised nearly $1.8 million to support the mission of Our Kids, and Vanderbilt Campus Dining is honored to play a role in an event that blends great food with community service. Whether it鈥檚 through feeding students on campus or giving back to those in need, Campus Dining remains committed
听to nourishing the Vanderbilt community鈥攐ne bowl at a time.听
