EAT! Vancouver Harvest event brings together 18 top Canadian chefs

The thing about Canada’s glorious culinary landscape is that you can’t eat it all at once. However, for one incredible night during the 2016 EAT! Vancouver Food + Cooking Festival, you can certainly come close.

The Harvest event, which takes place on Thursday, October 6 at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel Ballroom, will bring together 18 of Canada’s top chefs for an indulgent evening of food, drinks, and fun.

Timed perfectly to align with the bountiful fall harvest we gather at tables to honour coast to coast for Canada’s Thanksgiving, Harvest’s guests will be able to relax, mingle, and taste, taste, taste from the cornucopia of food offered up by outstanding chefs from coast to coast.

An evening worth getting a little dressed up for, the Harvest event will be the most delicious cocktail party Vancouver has seen in some time–and no one will dare leave hungry. Guests can wander from station to station, eating tapas-sized bites from the gathered culinary talent made in celebration of Canada’s fall ingredients–and get to chat with the chefs themselves.

And because it’s vital you save room for desserts, sweet treats will be on hand from three of Vancouver’s favourite treat spots: Beta 5, Beaucoup Bakery, and Bella Gelateria.

But perhaps best of all is that an evening like this is also about making sure no one goes hungry. Proceeds from Harvest will go to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
