Bankers are accustomed to crunching numbers, checking balances and turning over cash…but at the Gourmet Gala they will be banking on their cooking expertise and raising dough for Gary’s House.  Bangor Savings Bank, Bank of Maine, Key Bank, and TruChoice Federal Credit Union will be competing in a shorter version of the popular television show “Chopped” on April 16 at the Ocean Gateway on Portland’s waterfront.  During this portion of the Gourmet Gala event, they will be provided with mystery ingredients, provided by Whole Foods Market.  The Gourmet Gala benefits Gary’s House, Mercy Hospital’s home away from home for families with a hospitalized loved one.  Named after Gary Pike, the home is a tribute to this young man’s final wish before succumbing to cancer at just 21 years old.
