Wednesday, I’ll be judging at the event, a sold-out fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams. Many fit athletes are expected at the Shaw Conference Centre for Gold Medal Plates, including Adam van Koeverden and Alex Bilodeau. To date, Gold Medal Plates has raised some $4 million for the Olympic movement in Canada.
Follow me on Twitter (@eatmywordsblog) as I join forces with Edmonton food and wine judges including Nathin Bye of Wildflower (last year’s winner and one of the 10 chefs pictured at right competing in the 2009 event). I’ll announce the 2010 Edmonton winner on edmontonjournal.com at the evening’s end. Here are the chef competitors: Tracy Lydster of The Dish, Shane Chartrand of L2 at the Fantasyland Hotel, David Omar of Zinc, Jan Trittenbach of Packrat Louie and Daniel Costa of Red Star. Returning favourites are Paul Shufelt of Hundred, Michael Brown of Pradera at the Westin, Paul Campbell of Cafe De Ville, Andrew Fung of Blackhawk Golf Course, and Susan Kellock of Skinny Legs and Cowgirls. The event has been such a huge success that organizers decided to push it past the original goal of collecting funds for the Vancouver 2010 games. Now, it’s a yearly competition. Edmonton is the first city in the Canada-wide contest, which culminates in the national championship Feb. 18 and 19, 2011, in Kelowna.
