The GOODS from Edible Canada

Vancouver, BC | Tuesday, September 1st will mark the Quebec edition of Edible Canada’s eight-part Coast-to-Coast series. The evening will star Vancouver Island Chef Derek Dammann of Montreal’s famed Gastropub, Maison Publique. Chef Dammann will be making the trek back home to showcase his inspiring cuisine and regale us with stories of his time in Quebec.

Alongside Chef Dammann, Chad Brealey, of the TV series Salt, Fresh & Field, will be hosting the evening. His charm and good looks have nothing on his commitment to highlighting the journey of food before it hits the table. He’ll surely leave guests inspired by the stories of the food Chef Dammann serves up and with a new appreciation for whats available to us right in our own backyard.

With both men sharing an innate passion for bringing people together over food, the evening is expected to be fun, relaxed, intimate and … a good time.

The CHEF | Derek Dammann grew up on Vancouver Island, in the small town of Campbell River. After working his way through a series of Victoria restaurants, Derek took a leap forward in his career when he made the decision to travel to England to look for work. After landing a job at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London, he never looked back. Derek worked his way up, eventually returning to Canada with Jamie Oliver as a partner.

He has since impressed Montreal’s dining scene with his epic bistro Maison Publique, which in its first year was named one of Canada’s top new Restaurants by Enroute Magazine. Maison Publique has also made Canada’s 100 Best Restaurant list each year since they opened, and in 2015 they have found their way into the top 15! Maison Publique draws inspiration from both a traditional Northern England Public House and the unique cuisine of Quebec.

The HOST | Growing up in British Columbia, Chad Brealey is the true epitome of an ‘outdoorsman’. As a conservationist, fisherman, and family man, his TV show, Salt Fresh and Field, is a cinematic experience – part lifestyle documentary, part culinary adventure series, and really about the art of finding, preparing and sharing food.

Customer Feedback

“The tour and lunch were hugely successful. Feedback from the group – some of whom have been attending this conference for over 10 years – was that it was one of the best events ever. Thank you very much for your assistance in making the Saturday morning activity such a hit. I would not hesitate to recommend these tours and in fact will soon organize one with local friends – we also should be able to enjoy these special parts of Vancouver. Thanks again for your attention to detail.”
Private Granville Island Market Tour

“We were fortunate to have Edible British Columbia plan our honeymoon. Our 8-day trip was the best vacation of our lives. Eric worked with us to customize a honeymoon that offered relaxation, luxury, and culinary greatness. Every last detail was taken care of — hotel, car and ferry reservations (including the honeymoon suite at a Sooke B&B and a beautiful room at the Pan Pacific), dinner reservations at prime times and prime tables, picnics and hiking suggestions, and guided tours. Highlights included an extraordinary meal at West’s chef’s table, a romantic meal at sunset at the Pointe, and a dim sum tour of Richmond with Stephanie Yuen. It was terrific to have someone take such careful note of our desires and dislikes (our menus regularly featured favourite foods such as oysters and crab, and addressed food allergies), stay within our budget, and yet balance that with freedom and down time. Most importantly, after planning our entire wedding, we were able to sit back, eat, drink and most of all ENJOY, the beauty and of British Columbia. We’d return tomorrow if we could!”
Culinary Tourist

“The meal at West was awesome, the scallops and steak were just perfect and the wine was nice paired with each course. My wife was impressed that I had a consultant help with the planning of our anniversary meal.”
Culinary Tourist

“My wife and I are life-long products of the Eat Van melting pot, so we are no strangers to Asian food, but Tony succeeded in broadening our culinary horizons. Had we waded into the market’s food stalls without him, we would have stuck to the safe choices and not had the fun learning experience we had.”
Market Tour

“The event overall was an absolutely fantastic experience! Chef’s willingness to share knowledge and enthusiasm for food makes this event. To be totally honest, I would be willing to pay more for this experience – I think it is worth at least double when you consider the price of other cooking classes or comparable experiences. Best of luck to you all and I will definitely be in touch for future events!”

“Chef was amazing, personable, laid-back and knowledgeable! We had a fantastic time, great food and wine, wonderful people. We will definitely recommend this to our friends and family. Thank you, Vancouver needs more culinary experiences like this!!”

“An excellent evening with every single thing meeting or exceeding expectations.”
Private Market Dinner

“What a superb evening — I only wish I lived closer as I would attend several each year. Thanks to Eric and his fantastic and entertaining staff – it was a very enjoyable evening!”
BC’s Best Market Dinner

“The guides performed magic with the preparation and presentation of each meal. If I were not there watching that they were actually preparing and cooking the food from scratch on the “Coleman stove”, I would have thought that they had used packed prepared food. The quality of the food and it marvelous taste had all of us longing for more… yummers. Both guides were very approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and very professional – they made the trip very, very enjoyable… an awesome experience indeed.”
Gourmet Kayaking Weekend

“I loved this tour! The stops we made at the different venues were informative and very yummy. I only wished I could bring the whole market home with me. After the tour my daughter and I went back to places we had stopped at, picked up items for our lunch which we ate out on the deck. Then I bought what I could bring back with me on an airplane. I would even take this tour again! I would hope that every visitor and person living in the area would take this tour! Thanks!”
