German chef serving on campus today

Fatih Kurt, a famous German chef, will visit the medical center campus today.

Global Chef Fatih Kurt, from Berlin, Germany, arrived in Omaha Oct. 10 and soon began working with our chefs to prepare German favorites, like spaetzle. Colleagues are invited to stop by Clarkson Cafe and Nebraska Cafe Tuesday to enjoy his specially-created German menus. He’ll be in Bellevue Thursday.

“We are very fortunate to host Chef Kurt here at Nebraska Medicine,” said Thomas Hoffman, director of Food and Nutrition at Sodexo. “This is a unique opportunity for both our staff and those who dine in our cafes.”

Every year, Sodexo chooses executive chefs to travel to other countries for its Global Chef program.

Chef Kurt also will mingle with customers, answering questions and discussing German food.

“This is a great opportunity for us,” Hoffman said. “I hope people stop by and enjoy it.”
