US Potato Board (USPB), which is the promotion and marketing organization for
US Potatoes held it's annual
thanksgiving dinner to mark another milestone year of supporting Filipino food establishments and professionals.
It has been a tradition of
USPB to showcase talented Filipino chefs. This year, the stage was given to
Chef Arnold Gozon, the executive chef of
Terraz in
Makati City.
Having dined at Terraz before, I have to agree that he truly deserved the spotlight.
Representative of the
US Department of Agriculture as well as
USPB's partners and clients including well-renowned chefs such as
Chef Sandy Daza and
Chef Sharwin Tee graced the event too.
USPB Country Representative Reji Retugal-Onal and
USPB Global Marketing Manager Susan Weller made the thanksgiving event more meaningful by presenting the
#USPotatoesForACause campaign. It is an on-going social media campaign where people can share their own potato recipes for the chance to have USPB donate on their behalf to partner orphanages:
Tahanan ng Pagmamahal and
Bahay Maria. The donation helps them in creating healthy and nutritious foods for the children. So far, the campaign has generated 15 kilos of US potatoes to be donated to the beneficiaries. If you submit until December 31, you can get a chance to win GCs too.
