Event: West Coast Fishing Club Culinary Series 2010
Venue: Vancouver Aquarium
Date: May 27, 2010

From June 20 to August 29, 2010, The West Coast Fishing Club is introducing a series of culinary adventures with some of the top names in the field.

Each guest chef will be assisted by a talented kitchen team at the Clubhouse, led by Chef Ryan Stone, who will be representing Canada at the 2011 Bocuse d’Or. Chefs will design, create and serve a sumptuous four-course dinner on the final evening of the trip, as well as host an intimate cookery demonstration.

Brian Grange explains, “In light of the current economic climate, we wanted to deliver added value to our guests at the lodge this year. We’ve always been committed to providing excellence in food and wine as part of the experience, but this year we’re taking that up a notch by having these incredibly talented chefs as our guest chefs. It’s an exceptional opportunity to experience outstanding cuisine, in addition to outstanding world-class fishing.”
