Since this past summer Darrel
has been battling a leg infection that has postponed an operation for a
knee replacement. Doctors told him they would not do the surgery until
the infection was completed resolved. This has dragged on for over
three months. As time drew near our Zion Lutheran Lutefisk Dinner
(October 26, 2007) the word passed around our planning committee, "Is
Darrel going to be available to cook lutefisk?" Even though he's been
on crutches and taking antibiotics to knock out the infection, Darrel
repeatedly said we could count on him. Come October 26 he indeed was
there even though he had difficulty moving around. Close to 400 turned
out for the dinner and the comments from the attendees were, "Excellent
fish! Outstanding!" A lot of people came back to the cooking area to
visit with him. In addition to really knowing his lutefisk, this man
has an upbeat optimism, a smile and a good word for all. A lot of
people in his situation would have said, "Sorry, I just can't make it
this year," and people would have understood it. Not Darrel Benson. Darrel's surgery is presently scheduled for November 18, and his many friends are praying for a speedy and full recovery. A candidate again for Lutefisk Chef of the Year? You bet! I don't know of anyone more deserving. He went the extra mile this year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 Lutefisk Chef of The Year The quantity of
lutefisk Darrel has cooked in his lifetime
is not measured in pounds but in tons. Darrel is
serious about lutefisk. He takes an interest in
where the fish is procured and is always searching for ways to improve
the
quality of the end-product. He attends other lutefisk dinners on the This year’s lutefisk dinner presented a special challenge for Darrel. In mid-summer he was scheduled for knee replacement surgery and prior to it developed an infection that caused the surgeon to postpone the operation until the infection was eliminated. Come time for the lutefisk dinner and Darrel was on antibiotics and crutches. Did it take him away for his lutefisk chef duties? Not on your life. He was back in the kitchen, hobbling around, fussing over the fish, and devoted to satisfying all the lutefisk lovers who showed up. You can’t keep a good lutefisk chef down. [Note: He had successful surgery on November 18, and is in the process of full recovery.] It’s hard to
imagine anyone who has done what Darrel Benson has
done to insure that folks who show up at the He is a very worthy candidate for Lutefisk Chef of the Year honors…and we proudly present his name into nomination. Submitted by: Don
