The EAT! Vancouver Food + Cooking Festival celebrated its tenth year with three days of entertainment, cooking classes
& demonstrations by celebrity chefs, and of course, non-stop eating. The festival kicked off with the first Celebrity Chef
Throwdown between Bob Blumer, Rob Feenie, and David Rocco. Erin Cebula of Global and Entertainment Canada hosted and judged summer picnic dishes made by each chefs, which had to be created in 20 minutes using a secret ingredient: kale. David Rocco won with his alluring Spaghetti Carbonara.
35,000 attendees flocked to BC Place Stadium over the
three days, with over 250 exhibitors to learn from and
sample goodies, from Swiss cheese to pesto and curry
sauces, lollicakes, and macaroons. EAT! Vancouver also
hosted three competitions: The Western Regional Barista
Championships, BC Chefs Chocolate Competition, and BC
Chefs Grand Culinary Salon. Each creation was an amazing
display of creativity and detail.
While also taking part in the Bite of Vancouver
Pavilion, Wine, Beer and Spirits Pavilion, seminars, and
the first-ever Pop-Up
Culinary Centre, attendees toured the world at the 6th
annual World Culinary Travel Expo, learning about the
latest culinary
travel destinations, which included the Philippines,
Oaxaca, Mexico, Peru, and Louisiana, USA. Until next
year!
