My friend Ryan sent this note over with a file full of dozens of photos from what looks to me like a great day for the BC Chef’s Association.

Scores of members of the BC Chef’s Association, along with student volunteers from VCC and some of Vancouver’s top chefs, including Vikram Vij (Vij’s), David Hawksworth (Hawksworth), Rob Feenie (Cactus Club), Dino Renaerts (Diva at the Met), Neil Taylor (Cibo Trattoria), Tobias MacDonald (La Belle Auberge) and Scott Jaeger (Pear Tree) donated their time to feed over 1,000 of Vancouver’s homeless in the Downtown East Side. Organized by the BC Chef’s Association, this annual event is in its third year and has fed close to 3,000 people to date. The event is part of a global effort of chef’s associations around the world to recognize International Chefs Day and give back to their communities.
