While Super Bowl LVII (57) doesn't kickoff until Sunday, staff at didn't let that stop them from celebrating the big game today with our own Soup-er Bowl party!!!
More than a dozen of our own griddle-iron greats brought in different soups, chili's (with & without beans), pulled pork, and all the fix 'ins, and we turned our small conference room into an early tailgate party!
Physicians, nurses, techs and support staff, all scored a touchdown for their tastebuds as they sampled from the different selections.
And while everyone who participated in the event was a winner, the Soup-er Bowl I Champion was Trina Abbott, RN in our Emergency Department, who's Green Chili Chicken soup needed overtime to pullout the victory. A close second was Chelsea Price, MS, RD, LDN, Bariatric Coordinator, whose chili with beans was delicious!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated! Here's hoping Sunday's big game will be as exciting as the first annual Soup-er Bowl.
