Eating a six course meal is a marathon! I arrived at the Palais Royale ballroom in Toronto just before 7pm on Friday night and rolled myself out of there around 11:30pm (yes, that's when the meal finally wrapped up!). Oh, and naturally, there were wine pairings with every course! Thankfully, I live just a short walk away from Palais Royale; the walk, the cool air and the slight inebriation made for a great sleep that night.
Anna Olson, BBQ guru Ted Reader and renowned Master Chefs from Germany and Canada came together for Culinary Creations with the help of the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce to serve up some light German cuisine (not a sausage in sight).
Not only did Culinary Creations showcase the amazing food, you sat down to this gourmet dinner and a little "reality TV." Much of the behind-the-scenes kitchen action was captured by a videographer and shown on screen while we dined. It was interesting to see hundreds of plates lined up and the assembly line of chefs putting it all together. And, it definitely made the hours and hours of eating fly by!
Take a look at the spread.
