Golden Dumpling Cook Off And Derby Now Held At Food Truck Fest, August 9

Due to licensing issues, the organisers of the Golden Dumpling Cook Off and Derby are moving it to a new location: the Food Truck Fest (215 West 1st Avenue). The date and time remain August 9th, from 1pm – 5pm.

The site is between the Cambie Street Bridge and the Olympic Village next to the seawall and a short walk from the Canada Line’s Olympic Village Station, the Aquabus’ Spyglass Place Dock, and major bus routes along Broadway, Cambie, Main, and West 2nd Avenue.

The Golden Dumpling Cook Off and Derby is proudly supported by Red Truck Beer Company, Trimpac, FreshPoint, Take Root, Hon’s Asian Foods, and Happy Planet. For more information, visit www.goldendumpling.ca and follow @golden_dumpling on Twitter.

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.
