Are you a foodie? Do you live to experience new culinary delights? If you are yelling “yes, yes” at this point you won’t want to miss to the launch party for A Taste of Burlington, taking place on Tuesday, January 22/13 at the Burlington Art Centre.
A Taste of Burlington is the brainchild of Tourism Burlington, who met in 2008 with local restaurants, and reps from Burlington Downtown and the Aldershot Business Community to discuss how to increase awareness of Burlington as a dining and culinary destination.
Participating restaurants were encouraged to offer a Prix Fixe dining program (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) for lunch and dinner to encourage people to experience restaurants they may have never visited. Since its inception, A Taste of Burlington has been incredibly successful, growing from 12 participating restaurants in 2008, to 26 in the winter of 2010.
This year, the winter program for a Taste of Burlington runs from February 17-March 10, 2013 and menus go online soon. You can visit the A Taste of Burlington site for a listing of the 23 participating restaurants, all who will be offering lunches at $15/$20 and dinners at $30/$35/$40.
And while we wait for TOB to begin, we can get a glimpse of what is in store by attending the launch party. During the party you will have an opportunity to meet many of the participating restaurateurs at their interactive food stations and to try amazing cuisine from the following restaurants: The Garden Cafe @ RBG; Honey West; Jake’s Grill & Oyster House; Celli’s; Paradiso; Pepperwood Bistro; Queen’s Head Pub; Rayhoon Persian Eatery; Red Canoe Bistro; Rude Native Bistro; Siam Dish; Spencer’s at the Waterfront; Stone House; Walker’s Fish Market; Water St. Cooker; Ivy Bar & Kitchen & West Plains Bistro.
Flat Rock Cellars will be offering delicious wines to pair with the cuisine, and pianist Gerry Tymstra will be on hand to add to your enjoyment of the evening.
You’ll be crowning the Taste of Burlington Top Chef in a “People’s Choice” award. Guests will choose their favourite sampling of the evening from the participating restaurants alongside the “Best Taste” award, which will be judged by a celebrity panel.
Be sure to get your tickets today, as this event is almost sold out!
