Stew Cook Off [Events]

2012 Feb 3
Anyone hit up the stew cook off in the Byward Market today? (Winterlude)

If so, what was your favourite?

Basque style w/ haddock gets my vote. Not sure who made it ... Courtyard Resto maybe?

Crap I didn't even know about it :-(

Got there late after 1pm and a third of the stands run out of food already.

I think my favourite was the bison one by Social.

I heard they had 740 attendees and raised $7400.

yessi, was the haddock from lapointe? It is one of the ones I missed that I had wanted to try.

I'm sorry to say, I'm really not sure, but my gut says no. I don't think I had eaten at the restaurant that offered it, which is why I don't remember.
I should have paid more attention, but, you know, stew heaven. So many people, too.

If anyone plans on going next year, DO go early and get in before it's so jammed you can't walk around. Still fun and tasty though. Lots of stews featuring pulled pork.

Suggested to the organizer that they should have a list of the participants, etc. in the grab bag. If I had that I would have got my pen and checked off the ones I want to visit for a real meal..

I suspect the participants were giving away the food so a little extra marketing for them is not a bad idea.
