The Ottawa Hospital is pairing up with Stephen Beckta to redesign the menu items at the hospital. The hospital hired local restauranteur to redesign the hospital menu to make the meals more palatable. They would like to focus on making sure patients are served meals that are healthy, nutritious and delicious. Sample menus include Spanish omelet with roast potatoes and tomato salsa for breakfast, chicken kale caesar for lunch or butter chicken and potatoes for dinner.

That’s so wonderful!
It is and Stephen Beckta is a wonderful man. It almost makes me want to go to the hospital 
Just a side note if I can put in a plug for the man. Stephen Beckta owns two restaurants in Ottawa: Beckta and Gezellig. I’ve only gotten take out at Beckta once and haven’t been to Gezellig yet but I’ve been to his recently closed Play a few times and the meals were fantastic (as was the take out meal I ordered from Beckta). If you’re a drinker, the wine and beer menus have some excellent menu choices and the staff are really nice and knowledgeable. He also scans the reviews on social media and reaches out to unhappy customers to make amends. He is truly a class act. If anyone reading this comes to Ottawa I would recommend both restaurants.

Is his background Dutch?
I’m not sure. He was born and raised in Ottawa but he may be of Dutch ancestry. Every article I’ve ever read about him focuses on his restaurant experience in Ottawa. The most comprehensive biography I could find about him is here.
