In Vancouver we toured Fable<\/a>, Cafe Medina<\/a>, Campagnolo<\/a>, and Forage <\/a>with\u00a0Food Day Canada founder and Canadian Lentils campaign ambassador, Anita Stewart. It was a super fun and super delicious luncheon, with each chef creating a widely different, and ever so delicious dish with the mighty Canadian Lentil.<\/p>\n

Sadly I did not get to try the Cafe Medina\u00a0dish as I had to leave the tour early, but I’ll be heading soon to\u00a0Medina to get it a whirl. The competition is tough with each Chef bringing an entirely different take on the lentil to the table. You’ll have to decide for yourself. As for me? I think I better try them all at least one more time.<\/p>\n

Get out and taste and vote, vote, vote!<\/p>\n
