Enjoy Delicious Healthy Meals At the Healthy Chef Competition
We’ve been attending this event for many years and it’s always an fun and tasty night! Last year’s coverage here.
On Wed, March 20, 2019, the BCPMA Healthy Chef Competition, will welcome 500+ guests to its 20th annual event. Ten restaurants will create an array of meals where fresh produce ingredients are the stars of the plate. Protein plays a supporting role. It is co-hosted by BC Produce Marketing Association and BC Chefs’ Association (BCCA) and takes place at the host hotel, Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, BC.
If it’s your first time you are in for a treat:
- Everyone gets a different meal: On your table will be a mystery envelope with your entrée and dessert locations. It is a friendly competition and you get to taste the dishes but you won’t know who the winners are until the end of the evening.
- Theme tables: Always great fun to tour each of the set-ups – maybe you’ll find some idea that you can use at home later on. Select your favourite table. The food bloggers (hey that’sus) will be judging and picking their favourite one.
- Auctions: Bid on a great selection of items at the silent and live auctions. Proceeds will support programs at the Canadian Cancer Society, BC Heart and Stroke and the BCCA Scholarship Program.
- Entertainment: Enjoy DJ music, presentations and roaming entertainers
- Swag: Take home an amazing box of swag featuring fresh produce.
- Judging: BCCA chefs will carefully judge each entrée and dessert evaluating it for taste, texture, colour, volume of fresh produce used, and the protein offered.
- Trophies and prize monies: Awarded for Best Entree, Dessert, The Table Showcase and People’s Choice. Winners are announced at the end of the evening.
