GUILFORD FOOD SERVICES DIRECTOR TIM CIPRIANO TO BE FEATURED ON FOOD NETWORK’S ‘CHOPPED’
SNACT Member Competes on Episode to Air Tuesday, November 13 at 10:00 p.m.
GUILFORD, CT (November 12, 2012) – Tim Cipriano, a member of the School Nutrition Association of Connecticut, will be featured as one of the competing chefs in an episode to air on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 10:00 p.m. (EST) on the Food Network’s highly acclaimed program “Chopped.”
Chef Tim, who recently joined the Guilford School District, was named a “Champion of Change” in 2011 by the White House for his part in creating the “Chefs Move to Schools” (CMTS) program. CMTS asks chefs from around the country to adopt schools in their communities to work with teachers, parents and school nutrition professionals to help educate kids about food and nutrition.
During the taping of the show, Cipriano wore an orange shirt and an orange plastic bracelet in honor of “No Kid Hungry, Share Our Strength,” an organization that connects kids in need with nutritious food and educates families on preparing healthy, affordable meals.
Last year, three Connecticut school cafeteria chefs appeared on the program to raise awareness about the importance of good meals for kids. The winner of that competition was Chef Cheryl Barbara from New Haven.
A viewing party will be held from 8 to 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 13, at 1249 Wine Bar, located at 1249 West Main Street, Waterbury. A special “Orange Martini” will be created with proceeds to benefit No Kid Hungry.

"This has CONVINCED MY…Read More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, I…Read More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense of…Read More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board.
By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup.
I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore.
I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is.
This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think its…Read More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)

Somebody is pretending to be me again. On June 6 we remember D-Day. Thanks again to all our vets…Read More on Memorial Day and D-Day. That's a real reason to celebrate the week.
