Every year, the Ghosn Lab gets together for a (very competitive) Cook-off event!

The winner is lauded with a Chef Laureate Award trophy in two categories:

Main dish/Appetizer & Dessert.

 

Awards designed by Koshika Yadava. Note all the elements symbolizing the Ghosn Lab, including macrophages, B cells/plasma cells, antibodies, and rainbow/laser colors.
