In honor of May's National Nurses Week, 250 notable Nightingales from Thomas Jefferson Hospital were treated to a prime-time meal thanks to Food Network's Dinner: Impossible. Airing tomorrow, the previously taped episode features DI star/Iron Chef Michael Symon racing against time and Murphy's Law to feed the deserving, expectant throng. Assisted by his sous chefs and three patients whose lives were changed by Jefferson nurses and doctors, Symon hit up the bountiful Reading Terminal Market for the ingredients to create his banquet. Camden's Aaron McCargo Jr., who worked as Jefferson's executive catering chef before winning Season 4 of The Next Food Network Star, lent a hand preparing dinner on his home turf.

Wan's Seafood and Iovine Brothers Produce were among the RTM merchants Symon sourced for his meal. You can check out his recipes for marinated tuna and chilled carrot soup here.

The episode debuts Wed., Oct. 22, at 10 p.m. EST.
