Winner - Almost Famous CheapEats Chefs Contest

No silly preamble: the winner of the $150 gift certificate to Mark McEwan's Fabbrica courtesy of San Pellegrino and the S.Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef's Competition is:

Ann Jun

Ann entered by telling us about the best taste she had in 2010 and it sounds fabulous:

The best taste is actually something I made with a couple of foodie friends in Seattle over the summer. We had fresh grapes, peach salad with basil, egg benedict (one egg each), cured wild salmon on the other half of the fabulous English muffin, bacon crisp or soft (as we each liked it) and mimosas! Fabulous. Everything from scratch except for the English muffins, which came from a fabulous bakery. Okay, too much fabulous, but it really was! One of the highlights of the year!

I'm excited to hear about Ann's Fabbrica experience! 

Big thanks to San Pellegrino for making this give away possible and good luck to all the culinary students competing in the S.Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef's Competition on February 7th, 2011.

Last Week’s Winners

Wow what a great response we had to last week’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo giveaway!

Here is the list of winners and the suggestions that won them the tickets:

Monday’s Winners suggesting Fish & Chips spots

Jennifer B said... British Style Fish & Chips are my favourite. Good size portions, fresh fish, thick-cut chips (which are not too crunchy, exactly as I prefer) + they are authentic, inexpensive, served in proper newsprint, delicious, and the place is totally unpretentious. More of a take-out place than a restaurant, it always fills our craving for fish & chips.

Mousearoo said… Duckworth's at Main & Danforth.  It's very no-frills and old school, complete with fish mounted on the wall.

We always order the halibut although they offer a few other varieties of fish as well as shrimp and scallops.

We always love the thick slices of bread and butter and coleslaw to go with the meal, and they have a dine-in special that comes with both.

Tuesday’s Winners suggesting Burgers

Terencelo said... Maybe a bit simple, but I love Craft Burger... especially the spicy burger.

TheDashBored said... For me, my favourite burger is the Craft Blue Burger at Craft Burger. I'm all about the Gorgonzola! even if I get the Craft Red, I'll get the Gorgonzola added to it.
