Video web series brings Montreal chefs to the Eastern Townships
Tourisme Cantons-de-l'est (TCE) and Tourisme Montréal have joined forces to launch the Chefs-capade video series, featuring gourmet trips made by four Montreal chefs to the Eastern Townships. This new collaboration stems from a call for projects launched by Tourisme Montréal with the aim of intensifying relations between Montreal and the tourist regions of Quebec. TCE presented a project focusing on the creation of video content to present the natural link between Montreal's gastronomic creativity and the Eastern Townships agricultural offerings.
Renowned Montreal chefs Stéphanie Audet from LOV, Frédéric St-aubin from Moleskine, Marie-fleur St-pierre from Tapeo and Mesón and Jean-philippe Tees from Hvor met with local producers, shopped during the day, and cooked a meal together for surprise guests.
"Beyond the products discovered during their trip, it was the many warm and inspiring encounters that charmed our group of chefs - and our producers,” explained Annie Langevin, Director of Communications and Marketing and Brand Manager for Tourisme Cantons-del'est.
The video series is hosted by David Plasse, a proud ambassador for the region and director of operations at La Memphré microbrewery in Magog.
The videos are in French-language with English-subtitles and episodes are being released each Monday on the Tourisme Cantons de l’est website and shared on the social media of the two tourism organizations. The first video of the series is available at www.cantonsdelest.com/chef-scapade as will each subsequent release.
