On July 3rd, A Night of Too Many Chefs takes over the Museum of Vancouver for an evening of food, music and community, all to promote healing after the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy.
So what qualifies as “too many”? In this case: ten Filipino chefs, who will together be serving up their dishes alongside a stacked dessert lineup.
The evening will featuring food stations from:
TJ Conwi – Ono Vancouver/ReRoot Kitchen
Alden Ong – Farmer’s Apprentice
Andrea Alridge – Janevca/Top Chef
Antonio Martin – Haven
Derrick Sibayan – Holts Café
Janice Quinto – Ono Vancouver
Joseph + Jay – Plato Filipino
Marco Ramirez – Kulinarya
Mark Singson – Private chef FAMinc/MabuhayYVR
Rafael Racela – ¿CóMO? Tapería
Dessert stations will feature:
Celine + Allan Bacani – Lee’s Donuts
Cyril De Ramos – Hanap YVR
Diana Silva – Cake it Easy
Keem Herera – Ice Keem Shop
Maj Yee – Goldilocks
Mark Tagulao – Coco Molinillo
Racel Lomotan – Leavenly Goods
General admission ($95) includes food, dessert, and two drinks (boozy or not). Or you can take a cue from the event’s title and step your experience up a notch by tacking on an extra drink and couple of canapes with the $120 VIP option (early entry and chef access also included). Proceeds from sales will be going towards Ono Vancouver’s community meals program, which doles out 1,500 healthy free meals to Vancouver’s underserved communities on a weekly basis, and to the Vancouver Filipino Chef Meal Train, providing culturally-appropriate meals to those affected by the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy. That’s a whole lot of goodness happening all at once – just the right amount, by our estimation.
A Night of Too Many Chefs is happening at MOV from 5:30-9pm on Thursday, July 3rd. Get your tickets here.
WHY WE CARE
We love seeing a bunch of people rallying together in support of those in need, re-interpreting and sharing their culture through its flavours and dishes, and broadening the scope of Vancouver’s F&B scene. Food can – and should – be a powerful connector, even (or especially) during times of despair. The healing power of food and community should not be underestimated. Simple as that.
