Pic 1: duck
Pic 2: steak
Pic 3: burger

I won't say what hospital but we are in the southern states and if you look closely you will get a clue of the state lol

I don’t care what anyone says, the food service game in hospitals and care facilities is it’s own set of unique challenges. It is a unique thrill to have a great meal at a hospital, knowing the types of restrictions they have to work within.

what is the veg? At first I thought it was roasted green peppers but the little beans are throwing me off
u/YeahlmEmbarrassed here you go
does anyone eat the beans? they seem to be on the far side of ‘done’
Looks good. I used to work as a cook in a hospital ways back and got to say sometimes the meals are the only things the patients have to look forward to.
HIPPAA here, please show name and DOB.
I’m gonna guess Louisiana?
I thought those were green chilis until I saw the little beans. 😂 I’m actually kinda heartbroken now, though.
ETA: Also, duck is very surprising to me.
I spent a week in a hospital and smashed every single meal they gave me. I don’t think it was even a nice place they just had great food. Felt like a restaurant 3x a day
i know the patients in the hospital are glad the food is good as hell
That looks great compared to what I got the last time I was in the hospital. “Beef stroganoff” and steamed squash.

I love romano beans
That food looks suspiciously like how my family in South Carolina cooks. 🤔
Would smash, even sloppy seconds.
I’d fuck with it
It’s not pretty, but I’d absolutely eat any of that. Probably even enjoy it.
Why is that nasty butter packet in the potato? That thing rolled around some factory before being boxed. Then that box was opened and it’s rolled around kitchens and sat in containers; where everyone reaches their dick beaters into, to grab one.
Holy shit that all looks so damn good! Cudos to you and your team!
My fat ass thought the butter in the first pic was a butterfinger
Italian cut green beans are the best green beans.
Man, after seeing other countries hospital foods I don’t want socialized health care lol.
/s
I’m grateful for these posts cause the one time I was admitted to the hospital, they found out I’m allergic to gluten and…. Just stopped trying lol. It was plain grilled chicken and overcooked vegetables for a week straight. I actually LOST weight during my stay. It was miserable.
So I’m glad SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE is eating well in the hospital. Good food is so important to your health. Plus… this looks delicious 😋
My only complaint is the wrapped butter pat shoved into the potato. Otherwise this looks damn good, especially for hospital food
Condiment packets out of the food, please. Otherwise, that looks excellent!
Looks much better than the hospital food I’ve seen.
I was about to ask which hospitals have chefs in them then I realised OP is in America
Good job Chef ! As someone who works in healthcare catering, you can see the love.
I just had a baby in FL. Legit no complaints in the food in the hospital. The tomato soup was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had!
Id smash all of these. Nice work chef!
My husband was in a nursing home and there was a 30ish yo chef there. They would serve the food from a rolling cart. We figured it was a slop wagon. No sir! That chef took great pride in his work and would sometimes actually work the cart so that he could see how happy his “guests” were and they were pretty damn happy. He transformed Sysco slop into magic and he swore he kept the dietary restrictions. We did not care, his food was that good. Don’t get me wrong. I would also cater meals for my husband but he would have me check out the menu in advance and then pick the days for me to cater. The chef was probably serving about 150 on the main floor. The other floors were no meal service.
Since when did a hospital feed patients real food?
These look delicious!
Side question: what is it in hospital food requirements that leads everything to always look yellow? Is it just the lighting?
What restrictions/requirements do you have to comply with?
It’s good to see hospital food looks the same everywhere
If you hadn’t said southern states I would have suggested new Mexico with how many green chilis are there
10/10 would smash
Those vegetables are so sad
I had an interview at a hospital kitchen a couple weeks ago and I gotta say, I am thoroughly disappointed for how clean hospitals are supposed to be.
I’m on a liquid diet. I’m so hungryyyyyy
Absolutely crackin, love this 🙂
After my c section I ordered a teriyaki bowl for my husband since I couldn’t eat anything. That man was up from 2AM till 6PM when he got food. Our girl was in the NICU.
Hispital food will always hold a huge part of my heart. Fed my love during the scariest day of his life.
wow this is amazing!
