Cure for the common cafeteria: Hospital has great takeout food

Here's a nice story from the Miami Herald about a hospital that hired a former restaurateur to run its food service. On the menu are Latin-inspired dishes like the kind Ray Acosta used to serve in his own restaurant. It's so popular people come from outside the hospital to eat or order take-out. Well, it's not a surprise to me. I did a story a few years ago about hospital cafeterias in Green Bay that were trying to break the hospital-food stigma, although picadillo and chicken adobo certainly weren't on the menu. No word about whether the patients get to enjoy the same fare in their rooms. My one suggestion: Remember to let the hospital workers get in line first, because they're probably on a 15-minute lunch period.
