The Pan Am Games Organizing Committee has chosen chef Rudi Sodamin to be responsible for preparing 372,000 meals for the more than 7,000 visiting athletes and delegates.
Sodamin told The Miami Herald that he will be serving ?gold medal food to gold medal athletes?.
Sodamin is the consulting master chef for Royal Caribbean International, the cruise ship company, and thus is a world renown pro at serving excellent cuisine to large numbers of people. Previously, he was with Cunard Line. He is also an author of several cookbooks.
”I have cooked for six people — kings and queens — and I have cooked for 5,000 to 10,000 people on cruise ships. I definitely have the qualifications to do everything in the food and hospitality business,” Sodamin told The Miami Herald.
Sodamin?s company, Food Sensation is a partner to Alisal, the El Salvador company that won the Pan Am Games catering contract. The company recently successfully catered the Central American Games held in San Salvador.
