Edmonton

On Thursday, October 10th, eight chefs competed at the regional qualifier for the Canadian Culinary Championship. It was a prestigious event at the Edmonton Convention Centre. The guests savoured the dishes and the well-chosen paired beverages as they enjoyed each other’s company. Jim Cuddy, Anne Lindsay, Devin Cuddy, Sam Polley and Martin Kerr had guests up on their feet dancing and emcee Jack Michaels, the voice of the Edmonton Oilers, guided the evening with expertise and style.
