Our own chef, Jef Charlebois competed with his tomato braised beef short rib on a fresh house-made pesto bun with roasted garlic aioli, aged parmesan cheese, and fresh corn basil.
Don’t worry, we had to google the words too. It tastes amazing though.
Think of a meatball sub but fancy.
Vegans, don’t worry we thought of you too! He designed a lentil meatball sandwich on a vegan pesto bun.
The event raised $55,000 said Jeff Bond, the executive director of Hopewell Eating Disorders Support Centre.
