AGCcooks
Cleanse your palettes, get out your best silverware (well, we’ll supply that actually) and get ready for The AGC’s tenth annual AGCcooks fundraiser on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. This night has become an annual delight celebrating the art of cuisine and raising funds for The AGC’s renowned public and education (K – 12) programming.
Guests of AGCcooks are treated to epicurious creations of the highest caliber and creativity as six of Calgary’s elite chefs compete to create a superior four-course meal featuring a secret ingredient - selected by restaurant critic and local food writer John Gilchrist and disclosed to them only days before the event.
Guests dine on one of the exceptional meals, each course paired with fine wine expertly chosen by each restaurant’s sommelier. Attendees then have the chance to rate all four courses based on taste, creativity and presentation. In addition to the guests’ votes, a panel of local foodies, media and celebrity guest judges will award coveted prizes to the chefs after the meals have been created and enjoyed.
