Toronto — A collection of top chefs will be gracing the stage of the Delicious Food Show this coming weekend. Among the chefs represented are Food Network’s Mario Batali and Tyler Florence as well as Canadian chefs such as Mark McEwan and Roger Mooking. Dominique Ansel, the inventor of the Cronut will also be on hand.
The chefs will be taking to the stages for demos, talks, and workshops throughout the three-day event, which takes place Oct. 17 to 19 at the Direct Energy Centre. As one of the show’s special features, Taste Canada Cooks the Books will pair a famed Canadian cookbook author with a group of students who will have to prepare a recipe from one of the author’s books to compete for the title of Canada’s Best New Student Chef.
In addition to the culinary demos, the show will also highlight more than 100 purveyors of premium products and fine foods, displaying what show organizers are calling “absurdly delicious eats and treats.” A special edition of Abbey’s Kitchen Stadium will pit eight of Toronto’s top chefs against each other in an “all out maniacal melee.”
