All-Star Invitational
Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Telus Convention Centre

In Calgary, the journey to Canada’s most celebrated culinary stage begins with an evening of elegance, artistry, and exceptional taste—an immersive exploration of the country’s finest flavours.

For our 20th anniversary, two chefs will represent Calgary at the national finals in Ottawa: a Chef of Distinction, selected by national judges, and one All-Star winner chosen from a group of past podium finishers competing live.

Guests will enjoy signature dishes from Calgary’s top chefs, paired with curated Canadian wines, beers, and spirits—an up-close culinary experience designed to inspire and excite.

Join us for an evening of exceptional taste, meaningful impact, and thrilling competition.


Calgary to the National Stage

We are pleased to announce that Duncan Ly, 2014 Canadian Culinary Champion silver medalist, has been named Calgary’s Chef of Distinction, and will be one-half of the elite team representing Calgary at the Canadian Culinary Championship in Ottawa. Only guests who purchase VIP tickets for the Calgary event will have the opportunity to enjoy a dish from this accomplished chef.

At the end of the evening, the winner of the competition will be announced. Together, they will take the podium as Calgary’s representatives at the national competition in January—united in showcasing the city’s spirit, creativity, and culinary excellence.

Calgary’s list of competitors is coming soon.
