Inside The Hospital Kitchen Run By A Michelin-Starred Chef

Hospitals are notorious for bad food. When patients eat poorly, it can increase the price of their stay by 30%, and malnourishment costs the US healthcare system billions each year. But offering good food isn't easy. Many hospitals operate on negative margins. Some have a budget of as little as $4 per patient meal according to US Foods.

Now, one New York City medical network is changing the cliche thanks to an unexpected character: a Michelin-starred chef. We paid a visit to learn how Northwell Health went from getting one-star food reviews to serving up five-star dishes like seared scallops and lobster linguine.
