The Shaw Centre is home to many amazing events all year long, but just recently we held a culinary event like no other. The 14th Annual Great Canadian Kitchen Party Culinary Championships was held on February 1st, 2020 and it was truly an unforgettable evening! In the past the event has been held in Kelowna, BC but this year the event was held in Ottawa, here at the Shaw Centre.
12 chefs who won their national championship titles through Canada’s Great Kitchen Party earned their spot to compete in the grand finale. Each Chef was challeneged to create their best dish to impress the 14 culinary extraordinaire judges!
The sold-out show buzzed with 650 foodies indulging in the 12 plates created by Canada’s top chefs. Not only did the crowd enjoy an evening out with delectable food and beverage but proceeds were donated towards, Community Food Centre helping communities in need of food, MusiCounts a program where children have access to music programs through their school or community and B2ten whom provide training and development to elite amateur athletes.
