Showdown In The Kitchen, Toronto Style

As part of Winterlicious 2011, Fort York invites you to a workshop and food fight on January 29, 2011.

Held between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., the afternoon will kick off with an intimate informative food tour of Fort York, allowing you to gain insight into the diet in Toronto during the 1800s. Then, you may choose one of two workshops; Eat Green Through the Seasons –  exploring the ecological benefits of eating seasonally, or Growing Food Indoors –  highlighting alternative gardening.

Afterwards, Fort York will bring Iron Chef to you, right here in Toronto. 

You will get to watch a chef competition, up-close, between two of the city’s most acclaimed chefs, c5’s rising star Ted Corrado and Beast Restaurant’s Scott Vivian.

To prepare for the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812, Corrado and Vivian, will create and prepare recipes using a secret 1812-era ingredient available in the Town of York at the time.

The winning chef will take home the title of Fort York Food Fight Champion and be the recipient of a $2500 grand prize.

Who do you have your money on?

Call 416-392-6907 ext. 221 for tickets.
