The Canadian Culinary Championships is welcoming popular Canadian musicians Johnny Reid and Danny Michel to Kelowna this winter.
The Grand Finale Competition takes place on Saturday, February 4th, 2017 at the Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel.
Chefs will create their best dish for guests to sample, paired with a great wine or spirit from their regional beverage partner. By evening’s end, Canada’s Champion Chef of 2017 will be crowned and a victory celebration.
While enjoying the food, the lively performers will make the night that much more musical.
“Guests will be treated to an evening of talent – not only from the eleven chefs from across the country who are creating their best dish but now with an intimate live performance with Johnny Reid and Danny Michel that will be outstanding!,” said Karen Blair from the Canadian Culinary Championships.
Soul singer Johnny Reid, originally from Scotland, has sold over 1 million albums, received countless awards and sold out many national arena tours.
