VITALIA Senior Residences at Stow Thanks and Celebrates Its Culinary Director

Fun Fact: The hat that chefs wear is called a Toque Blanche, which means white hat in French. It is believed that the height of the hat symbolizes the seniority and rank of the chef in the kitchen and the folds in the hat express the qualification of the chef.

Culinary art is the mastery of preparing, cooking, and presenting food. Culinarians, or Chefs, are experts in this field and can be found in hotels and restaurants around the world. The depth of their talent extends far beyond the kitchen. Chefs also have a profound understanding of design, food science, nutrition, and diet.

Culinarians Day, held annually on July 25th, is a day to thank and celebrate the people who impact our experience with food in such meaningful ways. Worldwide, this day is a time to appreciate the art of cooking and is often commemorated with events and competitions. At Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow, we will be honoring our Acting Culinary Director, Krystal Shultz, and their team!

Stepping up from her Sous Chef position, Krystal took on the Acting Culinary Director role without hesitation. She stands out by going above and beyond, serving specialty items at the residents’ requests. Krystal creates the best soups and her favorite dish to make is stuffed mushrooms.
