About the Mystery Kitchen Tour

The beneficiary: the 2010 Canadian Chefs’ Congress.

• Angus An – Maenam
• James Walt – Araxi
• Julian Bond – Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts
• Ned Bell – Cabana Bar and Grille
• Neil Taylor – Cibo

Friday, July 30th – This time we are located in the beautiful Vancouver Club, one of Vancouver’s oldest, and a Class “A” Heritage building. And, as is fitting for the slightly more formal setting, this dinner is a sit down affair. Seven courses**, paired with wine, prepared and served by seven world class chefs.

Which culinary icons will be preparing the cuisine at the July 30th dinner? Be one of the lucky 100 guests to find out!

The Beneficiary

The 2010 Canadian Chefs’ Congress, themed as Oceans for Tomorrow, takes place September 11th & 12th in association with the Chefs’ Table Society of BC and our title sponsor, the BC Shellfish Growers Association.  That weekend, chefs, cooks, apprentices and culinary students from across Canada will converge on Providence Farm in the heart of the beautiful Cowichan Valley for two days of conversation and deliberation on the state of our water ways, our effect on marine life and what constructive steps can be taken to improve the health of our oceans. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample Canadian inspired dishes from leading provincial and territorial chefs from across the country. As host, BC chefs will present the very best that our province has to offer. The weekend will be a series of unique tastes and experiences as you munch and mingle with fellow chefs, sipping BC wines, ales, beers, ciders, and mead.

The Canadian Chefs’ Congress connects chefs to our land in solidarity with farmers, fishers, gardeners, foragers and all artisanal food producers. The Canadian Chefs’ Congress is a biennial gathering of chefs from across Canada that reinforces the passion and integrity of Canadian Food Culture. canadianchefscongress.com
