BOULDER, Colo. — Chef Daniel Asher, Executive Chef of River and Woods in Boulder Colorado, was awarded the 2018 Produce Excellence in Foodservice for Fine Dining Restaurants at the United Fresh annual conference and expo. Chef Asher states that his favorite produce item is the humble potato. “It’s the ultimate comfort food and showcases the diversity of global cuisine.” He states that “potatoes have the most diverse applications between fresh, frozen and dehydrated. They’re very accessible and make a lot of sense to feed humanity in an intelligent way.”
New to this year’s United Fresh expo floor was the Culinary Showcase, where foodservice award recipients had the opportunity to shine a spotlight on fresh fruits and vegetables. Chef Asher prepared and sampled his Vegetable Fritters with Avocado Crema recipe, the base of which was, of course, potatoes!
Chef Asher was nominated by Potatoes USA.
