In Winnipeg, 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 Winnipeg 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.
In a stand-up cocktail format, guests will enjoy signature dishes from Winnipeg’s top chefs, and an interactive wine station presented by Jones & Company Wine Merchants —an up-close culinary experience designed to inspire and excite.
Join us for an evening of exceptional taste, meaningful impact, and thrilling competition.
Winnipeg to the National Stage
We are pleased to announce that Emily Butcher, two-time provincial winner and 2020 Canadian Culinary Championship bronze medalist, has been named Winnipeg’s Chef of Distinction, and will be one-half of the elite team representing Winnipeg at the Canadian Culinary Championship in Ottawa. Only guests who purchase VIP tickets for the Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg’s representatives at the national competition in January—united in showcasing the city’s spirit, creativity, and culinary excellence.
Winnipeg’s list of competitors is coming soon.
