Don’t miss this opportunity to meet\u00a0Canada\u2019s top women chefs as they join forces for one night to highlight the fact that Canadian female chefs not only belong in the kitchen, they OWN the kitchen. Chef Connie DeSousa, affectionately known as the \u201cprimal ballerina\u201d because of her years of formal dance training combined with her meat-centric culinary cuisine, is the co-owner of Calgary\u2019s well-known and critically acclaimed Charcut Roast House. DeSousa and her partner John Jackson are opening their new venture, Charbar, this spring and have appointed rising culinary star Jessica Pelland as the new executive chef. Both join Andrea Carlson at her restaurant, Burdock and Co., which opened in 2012 on Vancouver\u2019s hip Main Street. Carlson earned her knives in the kitchens of well-known BC restaurants, including C Restaurant, Sooke Harbour House, and Raincity Grill, and she spent six years as the executive chef at Vancouver\u2019s legendary Bishop\u2019s Restaurant.\u00a0Carlson\u2019s menu is hyper-local and organic, showcasing the best of BC.\u00a0 This dinner with DeSousa, Pelland and Carlson celebrates Canada\u2019s female chef powerhouses.<\/p>\n
