Victoria chefs will go head-to-head for charity next week
Every weekday, the Mustard Seed rescues over 10,000 pounds of surplus food that would otherwise be put in landfills. That food is then dispersed to people in need throughout Greater Victoria.
To support food rescue, some of Victoria’s best chefs will gather for a special challenge on Saturday, April 13, at 808 Viewfield Road in Esquimalt.
Top chefs from Aura, LURE, Ferris’ Grill, and Block Kitchen are joining forces for a charitable culinary showdown. They’ll showcase their skills in a friendly competition, with each team whipping up a mouthwatering dish to delight the audience.
