Jason A. Comeau, MD, FACS

Vascular Surgeon, UPMC Lititz

It’s our pleasure to highlight a Lancaster City & County Medical Society member’s “passion outside of practice” in each issue of Lancaster Physician. Beyond their commitment to health care, LCCMS members have many other talents, skills, and interests that might surprise you. In this issue, we’re thrilled to feature Jason A. Comeau, MD, FACS, and his passion outside of practice.

answer is usually “Oh, a little of this. A little of that.” Learning to make traditional family favorites was always fun. Whenever we get together with extended family there are those dishes that someone always makes, but each version is just a little different. (And there is always debate about whose is better.)

When we do decide to venture out into the community for a meal away from our own kitchen, some of our favorite restaurants include Josephine’s, Ciro’s, Bistro Barberet, and Mad Chef.

How long have you been participating in this activity?

I started learning to cook when I was young, say 9 or 10 years old. As I grew up, I started experimenting and trying out recipes of my own. Now some of my favorite recipes to cook for my family are classic French dishes, along with American contemporary, Italian, and Asianinspired meals.

Why is this pursuit special to you?
