Back by popular demand, Vancouver’s Golden Dumpling Cook Off joins forces with the Chinatown Festival on August 10th. Serving the savoury morsels street-side, traditional Chinese restaurants will cook up the classics while the city’s hippest hotspots will plate fresh takes on the filling-and-wrapper format. An expert panel of judges will taste their way through entries from 20 restaurants battling to fill, wrap, steam and fry their way to the top. The victorious challenger wins full bragging rights and claims the legendary Golden Dumpling trophy.

Festival-goers won’t want to miss the Dumpling Derby, when prizes are awarded to hungry competitors who duke it out for dumpling domination in a deliciously vicious eating contest. During separate men’s and women’s heats of two suspenseful minutes each, eight men and eight women gulp down dozens of dumplings. The winner of each category is declared the Chinatown Dumpling Eating Champion, and both take home a coveted prize.
