About the Golden Dumpling Cook Off and Derby

Created by Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie’s Tannis Ling and Here There’s Ken Tsui, the Golden Dumpling Cook Off and Derby celebrates the humble dough-wrapped morsels of flavour. Some of Vancouver’s most talented chefs meet once-a-year to battle for the rights to the legendary Golden Dumpling trophy. At the same time, the Dumpling Derby eating contest tests even the strongest of stomachs. All proceeds benefit the Chinese Elders Community Kitchen.
