VANCOUVER HOME + GARDEN SHOW FOODIE CONTENT

This crappy iPhone photo (sorry about that) is of Executive pastry chef Bruno Feldeisen from YEW restaurant + bar, pastry chef and chocolatier Thomas Haas of Thomas Haas Fine Chocolates & Patisserie, and Top Chef Canada competitor Curtis Luk from Fable, competing in last night's dessert duel at the Vancouver Home and Garden show. Who knew the show had such foodie content? Judging the duel were Caren McSherry and Rob Feenie, and it was fun to watch. 

At $15 a ticket, it's a pretty good bargain to see some sweet demos by some of our cities' most talented chefs. And, you know, the rest of the show. Hey, buy a fireplace while you're there why don't you. Here's this weekend's lineup:
