Seeking Volunteers for AGCcooks – The Art of Cuisine, April 14, 2010

What is AGCcooks?
AGCcooks is a tasty celebration showcasing some of Calgary and area’s top Chefs in a friendly culinary competition. The Art Gallery of Calgary (The AGC) will be transformed into a kitchen stadium on Wednesday April 14, 2010 for our annual fundraiser. Each Chef will create a four-course feast utilizing a secret ingredient chosen by Calgary food writer and CBC restaurant critic John Gilchrist. Guests will dine on one of these exceptional meals, with each course being accompanied by fine wines expertly paired by the restaurant’s sommelier.
