The Canadian Culinary Championships

THE CANADIAN Culinary Championships held in Kelowna, BC on February 1 and 2, 2019 was the culmination of a year-long search for the nation’s most talented chef. Competition was extremely tight, with all eleven participating chefs still in a pack at the finishing line. In the end Chef Yannick LaSalle of Les Fougères in Chelsea, Quebec, gold medallist at the Ottawa- Gatineau Kitchen Party, became the new Canadian Culinary Champion, — a hugely popular and well-deserved victor.
