Calgary Academy of Chefs Gala Dinner
Ever thought about what the best chefs eat when they get together? We were once again honoured to host the Calgary Academy of Chefs Gala Dinner.

Food is something we all interact with every day whether we think about it or not. At Great Events Catering, we always get excited about opportunities to showcase creativity, new concepts and fun ways to savour it. So why not push the envelope on the experience?
The annual Calgary Academy of Chefs & Cooks Holiday Gala Dinner offered one of these opportunities this past December. And, of course, Chef Daryl and his team would never skip a chance to take our culinary favourites to the next level.
Differentiating itself from previous years, this year’s dinner was served reception style with seven interactive food stations offering a different experience depending on its dish. Explore the menu below.
Ironed herb game, zucchini, asparagus, Portobello, white crema.
Shrimp, crab claws, scallop ceviche, mussels, clams.
Chicken, Spanish chorizo, onion, garlic, paprika, saffron.
Sliced and smoked whole ahi tuna on Himalayan salt blocks.
Champagne cured beef tenderloin, grapefruit yak striploin.
Flambéed Mediterranean cheese, fondue, st. andre en croute.
A selection of scientific concoctions including dessert grilled cheese, carbo coffee and live smoke bar.
Thanks to our friends at Johny Jacobs for crafting a great keepsake of the 2017 Chef’s Gala Dinner.
