THIBODAUX, La. — When you go out somewhere nice to eat, are you worried about the nutritional qualities of your food or the taste? A joint study conducted by the 麻豆果冻传媒 dietetics department and the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute discussing that topic, and other questions, will be presented at an annual conference in Washington, D.C. <\/span><\/p>\nDr. Brigett Scott, interim assistant dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health, will give a presentation at the 2018 Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo on the research, titled \u201cCulinary and Dietetics Collaboration in the Kitchen Healthy Bistro Outcomes.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThis research is important because we want to make sure we are meeting the needs of all of the customers at Bistro Ruth,\u201d Dr. Scott said. \u201cThis helps us understand our customer\u2019s preferences and through this research, we could see people were making health-conscious decisions.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\nThe annual conference will be from Oct. 20-23 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. <\/span><\/p>\nCulinary and dietetics students teamed up to create a healthy menu option \u2013\u00a0fewer than 550 calories, 18 grams of fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol and 700 milligrams of sodium \u2013\u00a0at the popular, student-run Bistro Ruth restaurant. Dietetic students surveyed 315 restaurant-goers to determine what menu item they chose, why they chose that meal and if they were satisfied with their choice.<\/span><\/p>\nResults, taken during the 2017-2018 year, found that of the 12.5 percent who chose the modified healthy option, 96 percent were satisfied with their choice. More than one-third of those surveyed made their menu choice based on the protein in the meal. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe overall health in Louisiana depends on healthier food options being available,\u201d said Chef John Kozar, department head of the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute and co-author of the study. \u201cWhat this research does is it shows our students that their customers are health-conscious and it\u2019s important to keep that in mind as they advance in the industry.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <\/b>Oct. 16, 2018<\/span><\/p>\nCONTACT: <\/b>Jacob Batte, Media Relations and Publications Coordinator, <\/span>985.448.4141<\/span> or <\/span>jacob.batte@www.nicholls.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THIBODAUX, La. — When you go out somewhere nice to eat, are you worried about the nutritional qualities of your food or the taste?
