usLooking for something new and exciting to eat? And healthy even?!
The Atwood Café is featuring a new menu, including The Chief ’s Choice – a special sandwich now being offered for a limited time. Named after Jack Ende, MD, chief of Medicine at PPMC, the sandwich includes grilled chicken, smoked gouda, sautéed spinach, roasted red peppers, and pesto all on focaccia, served with tortilla chips and fresh orange slices.
Dr. Ende won the right to create and name his own sandwich as part of the silent auction at the 2013 PPMC annual fundraiser. The new item has already become one of the most popular orders in the cafeteria and will be a feature on the menu for one year.
Stop by today and try The Chief ’s Choice!
