And it couldn’t have been closer – just 1 point separated our two finalists. It was Chef Paul Cecconi who came out on top!
Incredible finish. We are so blessed to have the support of our culinary community.
Randy Benson, Executive Director of Kelowna’s Gospel Mission had a big smile on his face all night. ” I can’t wait for next year! This was the most successful and unique event that we’ve ever hosted. I believe this is just the beginning of a new relationship between the Mission and the Okanagan’s culinary talent.”
