The Chestermere Yacht Club is honoured to have been chosen to host ‘Chopped: Yacht Club Edition’. It was with tears of grief and sadness that CYC Commodore Mainsail Mike announced last week that the greatest cook the CYC ever had, Regina, had died. But as life must go on, and go on it will, on Saturday February 27th, four talented chefs will compete to win the job as new CYC chef at ‘Chopped; Yacht Club Edition.’ The evening will be a time of great sorrow remembering Regina and her famous, never to be tasted again, ‘Regatta Ragu’ and ‘Sloop Soup.’ Yet it will also be a great celebration as the new chef is chosen. The event will be televised on the Foodie Channel and honoured guests, such as any of you lucky enough to get tickets in time, will be part of the voting. Yes, 50% of the vote will be in your hands. So come along, taste the fare, judge accordingly and know that there can be only one…winner that is. These chefs are all unique in their field, and each is known for their own style and personality, so bring your taste buds and your sense of fun. Welcome to –The Hunger Games: Chef Edition. And may the best chef win…or at least, survive. With all the knives, cleavers and kitchen ware, that just may be a little difficult. To get your tickets ($50 adults; $25 youth) for this exciting Aspen Crossing Player’s dinner/mystery theatre written by Gail Whiteford starring one of our own Chestermereians Laurie Dunn, and coming right to your doorstep, go to www.cyc.ab.ca and click on events.
