S. Pellegrino names Canada’s Almost Famous chef
TORONTO—The S. Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef Competition named Canada’s regional winner, Jean-Christophe Comtois from École hôtelière de la Capitale, in Quebec City, at the event in Toronto on Feb. 25.
The event challenged seven students from across Canada to create a signature entree dish in two hours. Dishes were prepared for a panel of judges made up of industry and media experts.
The winning dish was a milk veal tenderloin, matsutake and “Tomme des Joyeux Fromagers” flavoured polenta. “When you put passion into what you do, great things can happen,” said Comtois. “I worked really hard to prepare for the S. Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef Canadian Regional Competition and it really paid off.” Comtois will go on to the finals competition in Napa Valley, CA in March. The finals will see the 10 regional winners, face-off for the S. Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef title.
