On this remarkable night, guests will gather at The Carlu in Toronto for an unforgettable experience. Six national finalists will be flown in and treated to a premium hotel stay, ready to compete in a high-energy mystery box challenge alongside Ambassador Celebrity Chefs! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

An esteemed judging panel, featuring the renowned Chef Michael Bonacini, along with dietitians and top fundraisers, will evaluate the finalists’ dishes. Over 400 guests will act as gala judges, sampling delectable creations and voting for their favorites across three categories: appetizer, main, and dessert.
