Oceanwise Chowder Chowdown
Featuring the top 10 Ocean Wise finalists, chefs will be competing for the title of BC Ocean Wise Seafood Chowder Champion 2009. MCed by food writer extraordinaire Andrew Morrison, this chowder and hops event is not to be missed! Set against the magical backdrop of the Aquarium at night, dine on the 10 finalists' delicious Ocean Wise chowders whilst enjoying paired local beer tasters individually chosen by the chefs themselves. In addition to the chefs' beer pairing, we are excited to offer guests beer tastings from 5 members of the Craft Brewers Association of BC. Which chef will win the Chow-Down? You help decide! Five highly regarded judges will determine the 2009 Ocean Wise Seafood Chowder Champion, whilst guests vote for the People’s Choice Award! Results? A silver medal was awarded to Chef Mike Carter’s Smoked Cod and Crab Chowder.
