CHEF KNOWS BEST AT THE CALGARY HOME + DESIGN SHOW

This fall at the Calgary Home + Design Show, we’re proving that chef really does know best.

From sweet to savoury (and always insanely scrumptious), these chefs have something in store for everyone.

Before you meet them on stage, say hello to our talented line up.
