In Ottawa, 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 Ottawa 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 Ottawa’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.
