Did you know that Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a surgeon; a news reporter; and he can cook?? That's right! On Friday October 19, 2007, Atlanta-area chefs, doctors and CNN news reporters invaded the CNN Center for one of our most exciting cooking sprees yet!

The participating chefs included: Lamar Thomas of East West Bistro, Robert Gerstenecker of Park 75 at the Four Seasons Atlanta, Eric Mulville of Maggiano's Little Italy, Ritter Jones of Ritter's Restaurant, Chris Lee of The Real Chow Baby and Leeann Chin of Leeann Chin Inc.

The participating medical professionals included: Dr. Spencer Rozin of Gwinnett Health System, Andrea Welter of Dekalb Medical Center, Gerald Erickson, Jr. of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Lisa Robbins of Robbins Health Care Alliance, Ronald Ito of Gwinnett Internal Medicine and L.

The participating CNN personalities included: Dr. Sanjay Gupta (Chief Medical Correspondent), Chad Myers (Meteorologist), Don Lemon (Newsroom Anchor), Bonnie Schneider (Meteorologist), Mark Nelson (Vice-President, CNN Productions) and Reggie Aqui (CNN.com).

The Judges for the event were Dr. Cynthia Rudert (Atlanta Women's Health Alliance), Joy Johnston (Atlanta.About.Com), Riley Collins and Ryan Flynn (kids with celiac). The food was amazing! But there could only be one winner! And the winning team was…. Team Maggiano's!! They made Pine Nut Crusted Chicken with Herb Pesto and Mushroom Risotto that blew everyone away.

Congratulations to Chef Eric Mulville, Dr. Gerald Erickson, Jr. and Don Lemon. They made Pine Nut Crusted Chicken with Herb Pesto and Mushroom Risotto. Yummy! Everyone loved the dish, including the kids!

A room full of attendees was able to watch the teams prepare gluten-free delights and best of all, got to taste the high-class entrees. Attendees also enjoyed gluten-free pizza, chicken fingers, Brazilian Cheese Bread, noodle salad, flourless chocolate cake, Ostrich Skewers, Lobster Chili, Risotto, Stir-Fry, Salmon, pasta, rice chips, cinnamon rolls, bread, cookies, brownies, muffins, pies and of course gluten-free beer from Anheuser-Busch.

A HUGE thanks to Amerivents for all of their dedication and support and for helping us put on a fantastic event! And thank you to Whole Foods Market for providing all of the ingredients for the chefs to cook with.
