By The Food Tease on June 20, 2016
It isn’t every day that one has the chance to win a brand new 2016 Mercedes-Benz or a cash prize of $30,000 all the while supporting a great cause. Drinks were flowing, oysters were being shucked and food was a plenty as 500 guests wined and dined at the beautiful Hellenic Community Center for its 31st anniversary of The Gold Plate Dinner.
The Ottawa Hellenic Community Center was transformed into a ritzy soiree! Nothing was left to chance. Guests were treated as royalty as soon as they entered the big top tent where the pre-party celebrations were taking place.
Executive Chef Jason Duquette spoiled the guest’s taste buds as they nibbled and in some cases overindulged (and who could blame them as they were very addictive) on the tasty and diverse appetizers that were presented.
Guests were delighted to indulge in the numerous ‘teaser’ offerings at The Gold Plate Dinner cocktail reception. Malpeque oysters in abundance catered to everyone’s love of the sea and appetizer cones filled with duck confit with mandarin orange spread, smoke salmon with maple cream cheese and taramasalata (Greek carp roe) left guests wanting more! I personally could have eaten these all night!
Seafood inspired canapés delighted the guests as they ate mussels with black pepper spread, smoke salmon wheels with caper cream cheese, scallops with curry cream cheese and sliced crab with dill spread to just mention a few.
The cocktail reception and all its tasteful nibbles at The Gold Plate Dinner.
While guests enjoyed the pre-party libations and networked with some of Ottawa’s most successful business owners and professionals, live entertainment played as Greek-like goddesses danced near the desired Mercedes-Benz vehicle. All of which made the perfect ambiance to the cocktail portion of the evening.

Eleni Dellis, General Manager of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa & Hellenic Meeting & Reception Centre explained what the event means to her and to the Greek community, “The Gold Plate Dinner event is about supporting our Greek community and the many worthy charities in this city. This could not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and every loyal guest that attends each year. They are the true gems of this event.”

This amazing event is truly a testament about bringing people together and giving them the opportunity to network with leaders from every industry in our community while at the same time raising funds for charities in the Ottawa region – Eleni Dellis, General Manager of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa & Hellenic Meeting & Reception Centre
Benefactors of the Gold Plate Dinner are The Hellenic Community of Ottawa and The Queensway Carleton Hospital ACUTE Care for the Elderly Unit, a new partnership for the next 5 years. The last 7 years the Gold Plate Dinner fundraising event partnered up with The University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Throughout the years, this community oriented fundraiser has raised over $2 million! Impressive figures to say the least.
The cocktail portion of the evening was an opportunity to network amongst some very reputable companies and contributors in our beautiful city. It was time to enjoy the evening’s main draw: the three-course gourmet feast and see who would have Lady Luck on their side for the draw!
As guest entered the formal dining hall, Executive Chef Jason Duquette continued to wow the guests with his three-course dinner that accentuated the love of both land and sea.

First course: grilled romaine salad with bacon crisps, grated quail egg, accompanied by an onion toast with a compote, goat cheese & figs with balsamic reduction.
Second course: filet mignon with grilled portobello mushroom au gratin served with a port reduction demi glaze. Accompanied with lobster tail, Gruyere duchesse potato and seasonal vegetables.
Third course: chocolate caramel served with a strawberry coulis.
During the dinner service, all eyes were glued to the big projected boards on the wall displaying the ticket numbers from each and every guest from the evening. As the dinner service started, ticket numbers would start to disappear one by one to the dismay of unfortunate ticket holders. And for those that still saw their ticket number on the board, that meant they were still in the running for the famous Reverse Elimination Draw for $30,000 or a 2016 Mercedes-Benz car from Star Motors, till they dwindled the number down to twenty lucky contestants.
Lawrence Greenspon, the energetic MC for the evening entertained guests during the live auction that saw amazing prizes being sold to the highest bidder.
Lawrence Greenspon, The Gold Plate Dinner MC kept guests entertained during the event.
Greenspon called upon the twenty fortunate contestants to the centre stage to start the heart pounding elimination. From there the contestants would decide collaboratively whether or not to share the purse money of thirty thousand dollars or try to win a bigger share of the pot. All the while risking having their names being read as their ticket was pulled from the lottery drum. The elimination process finishes when all remaining contestants unanimously agree to stop.
(Back to Front) MC Lawrence Greenspon and the final 20 contestants during the Reverse Elimination Draw; Lawrence Greenspon and event chair Dean Karakasis as they pull the tickets from the drum; winners of the evening: friends and colleagues Mike Arsenault and Michael Ruspic from CBM Elevator Company are the final two contestants of the $30,000 Reverse Elimination Draw and decide to share the money and donate back half their winnings.
As the contestants were being eliminated, two colleagues who also happen to be friends found themselves at the end. Mike Arsenault and Michael Ruspic from CBM Elevator Company decided that they would both share the winnings. And if that wasn’t enough, they also donated half of their winnings back to the community. Now that’s giving!
What an evening! The Gold Plate Dinner was spectacular and for myself, who has never attended this event before, it was something else!
The food, décor and ambiance were red carpet worthy! And let’s not forget the nail-biting Reverse Elimination Draw that guests looked forward to and talked about afterwards. With such events, it’s a bonus knowing that others in the community will benefit from them.
Learning about new destinations and different cultures is always a blast! 😃
Several evenings ago, I had the pleasure of being invited to the Embassy of the Czech Republic😍
Learning about their culture, their unique travel experiences, and surprisingly, how inexpensive this country is, when compared to other European destinations, is always good💰💰
To start the Czech Tourism event, guests had the pleasure to hear from Czech Republic Ambassador of Canada, Martin Tlapa.
Tasty libations and Czech dishes were enjoyed by the guests. Even though I enjoy my 🍾 bubbles, I enjoyed tasting Czech`s prized beer 😉🍻
On the bucket list to discover✈️✈️

I had the pleasure of experiencing @kathaottawa with their exclusive 8 course tasting menu of progressive Indian cuisine. What a treat!😍😋
.
Kathā means story in Sanskrit, and with each course, a story about the dish was shared with the guests. This interactive approach provided a cultural and personal background for each dish.
.
Everything from the scallop ceviche, the cod with chili and coriander oil to the delicious lamb chop and duck - all made for a unique cultural dining experience. 😋😋
.
Props to Chef/Owner Sarath Teegavarapu and his talented brigade on this creative endeavor!!

Friday night, I had the privilege of attending the 2024 Canadian Culinary Championships - Mystery Wine Challenge - People`s Choice Award🥇🥇@greatkitchenparty
.
Congratulations to all the chefs involved in this intense competition. The chefs needed to create a dish to pair with the mystery wine. Each chef was given a tricky budget of $550 for the 250 guests. I was witnessing creativity at its best!!😋
.
The winning dish🥇 (centered in the middle of the photo) was created by JP Dublado: Red Deer Resort and Casino, Red Deer AB
Dish: beet & soy cured albacore tuna - ponzu gel - tomato water - puffed wild rice - beet green oil
.
Amazing talent from all the chefs as they paired with the mystery wine (a 2021 Lailey Vineyard Zweigelt)🍷🍷

A classic is always a classic!🤩
.
@alssteakhouse has been serving food lovers steak, seafood, and tantalizing martinis since 1967!!! Just incredible! 🥩🍤🍸
.
As an appetizer, I must say their calamari was outstanding, and believe it or not, their portion was unlike any other eatery - there was so much!! 😮
.
And now, for the main attraction - their 14oz Rib-eye steak. The flavour of this steak was a melt-in-your-mouth gift! I couldn`t stop eating it. I forgot how delicious their steaks are. With their sides and salad with their signature garlic dressing, it was a real feast, to say the least.😋
.
I`m already looking forward to my next visit...like I said, when a classic is this tasty, any excuse to visit is a good one‼️

Explore and savour! 😋
.
Exploring different regions of the beautiful island of Antigua🏝🏝🐚🐚
Breathtaking panoramic views from Shirley Heights, a restored military lookout, and gun battery was such a visual treat!😍
.
Afterward, a tasty seafood lunch at the Mainbrace restaurant, located at the @copperandlumberstorehotelanu was needed. We are talking about delicious conch fritters, spicy shrimp and avocado sushi stack, and Mahi Mahi trio seafood salad - YUMMY!! 😋😋
.
And if that wasn`t enough, the view of the mind-blowing luxury yachts in front of us as we dined was simply perfect!🛳🛥🤩
.
These activities made for a great island day!🏝😊

The Devil made me do it! 👹😉
.
Antigua’s rich history and spectacular topography provide a variety of popular sightseeing opportunities.
.
One of those stunning sightseeing opportunities is the Devil`s Bridge. The sight and sounds of this natural wonder are something else. 👹🌊
.
Natural blowholes around the arch shoot up water and spray, caused by the Atlantic Ocean waves. Simply beautiful and capitavating and yet dangerous if too close to the blowholes.😲😍

To discover any new destination, I need to explore and experience their local dishes and eateries. 😋😋
.
Big thanks to @eat_n_lime_food_tours and to the @antiguaandbarbuda tourism board for providing me such a tasty treat!!🤗
.
Eat N Lime`s motto resonates with me so much...`We are hanging out and chilling, enjoying eachothers company with good food` - This is my happy place!😍😋
.
The delicious food tour started in Saint John, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, at the Heritage Quay Complex, where one can easily see all the cruise ships coming in and offloading their passengers.
.
I had the pleasure of tasting these local treats during the food tour:
1) Island Bhive: shrimp fritters with garlic sauce - so delicious 😋 🦐
2) Quin Farara Liquor Store: Rum tasting and learning how to make an Antiguan Old Fashioned cocktail with their 5-year-old English Harbour Rum.🍹
3) Roti King: a very generous roti that was packed with flavour: chickpea bread, potatoes, chicken, Indian curry, turmeric, and ginger.
4) Brownies Bakery: well-known for its unique bread offerings. Fun fact: it`s also a well-known hangover dish.🍞😉Tracey Ann, our informative and engaging Eat n Lime Food Tours guide, showed us Brownies Bakery`s famous bread - cinnamon butter and cheese.
5) Patti Delight: Jamaican patties with a twist. Jamaican beef patty with bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. More please!!😋😋
6) To wash down all this delicious food, we stopped at One Stone Ital Shack - a Jamaican rasta shop known for their fresh fruit juices. Passion fruit for the win!! Tasted amazing and truth be told, I mixed my leftover juice with some local Rum as my afternoon cocktail.🍹😉
.
I highly recommend taking part in food tours when discovering new destinations as you not only learn about the culture but also learn how food plays an integral role in the history of the specific region. Eat N Lime`s food tour was exceptional - great memories from this excursion. 😍🤗

Home cooking calls for a smoked salmon Dutch baby!!😋💕
.
This uber light yet rich at the same time meal is nothing but DELICIOUS!
.
This savoury Dutch baby with garlic butter, parmesan, and plenty of herbs can be a versatile vessel for other proteins or on its own. However, the smoked salmon and sour cream spread takes it to another level.
.
Here`s to weekend meals👩🏼🍳😋

I am very proud to share my culinary "observer" perspective regarding @lecordonbleuottawa culinary workshops in the latest issue of @luxeottawamagazine 😊
.
Visiting my alma mater and watching the culinary workshop from a different lens reinforced the rationale as to why I pursued my culinary education…the pleasure of savouring the fruits of your labour. 😋
.
It is this journey that ignited my passion for cooking, helped hone my skills, and introduced me to a world of flavours and techniques that continue to inspire me to this day. And perhaps it will inspire you as well!👨🍳👩🏼🍳
.
Check out the article and the new culinary workshops being offered. Enjoy the adventure!!😊🤗

Where`s my rubber ducky 🐤😉?!
.
A year ago this week, I was enjoying some bath time while in @discoverdominica 🏖🏝😍
.
Dominica`s lush scenery is extraordinary, and I`m grateful to have been invited to visit their beautiful island😊😊
.
Visiting Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs was perfect to relax and rid of some unwanted stress. And the outdoor bath surrounded by all that green landscape was simply the BEST! An unforgettable experience! 🤩
.
Dominica`s adventure activities - diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, swimming - are just some of the many ways to enjoy this tropical island.🤿🙂
.
Put Dominica on your travel list. You`ll love it!!❤️❤️

No trip would be complete without a delicious food tour😋😍
.
I had the pleasure of taking part in @tours_de_la_table
guided walking tour - exploring Montréal`s Chinatown. Engaging host, interesting cultural facts, and my favourite, tasty dishes made for a great afternoon.😋😍
.
Having a very engaging and informative guide is key to any successful tour, and Mélissa Simard, founder of Round Table Tours/Tours De La Table nailed it. Melissa has a wealth of knowledge regarding both Canadian and Chinese history and its connection to Montreal.
.
During the tour, I learned that the Chinese Holiday Inn, the only Chinese Holiday Inn in Canada other than China, all the rooms and decor in the hotel are done in respect to the Feng Shui practice. Additionally, I also learned, amongst many other interesting facts regarding Montreal and its beloved Chinatown, that 50% of businesses in Montréal`s Chinatown are Vietnamese owned.
.
Now to the food😋😋
● The classic Vietnamese dish, Bánh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), was perfect to start off this yummy culinary tour!🥖😋
● @dobeandandy restaurant: BBQ pork, BBQ duck, chicken, and crispy pork. 😍YES!!!
● @chezchili_mtl: Traditional Hunan and Sichuan dishes are their specialty. I devoured their tofu with spicy blackbean sauce!! AND their spicy lotus was amazing! I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed this dish! 😍 Plus, their stir-fried Cumin lamb...I could have eaten all of it!!!😋😍
● Kim Fung eatery: dim sum dishes of rice noodles, dumplings, cuttlefish, and Shumai (Chinese dumplings). 🥟🥟
● For drssert: Dragons beard candy dessert: Similar to cotton candy, but with some saltiness from peanuts and sweetness from coconut...super tasty!😍
.
I highly recommend this style of food tour as it`s very interesting and ridiculously TASTY 👌 😋😍

Labeled as `hunting lodge meets speakeasy`, the @foxymtl restaurant perfectly executes each dish with their wood-fire cooking🔥🔥😍
.
All aspects of this dining experience were spot on - warm hospitality, tantalizing cocktails, and dishes that pop with flavour. 🥃🍸🔥
.
Foxy`s head chef, Catherine Couvet Desrosiers and her talented brigade made exceptional wood-fire dishes, that left me wanting for more!!
.
Sabrina master mixologist at Foxy, made several tantalizing libations for me, but one stood out like no other - the New Delhi.😍🍸🥃 The New Delhi Cocktail was by far the best cocktail I`ve had in a very, very long time! Exotically addictive! 😋
.
Dishes that I was spoiled with: Homemade feta and pita: 1) burnt eggplant, blueberry, walnut and honey. 2) Radicchio: garlic confit, anchovy, olive and sourdough bread. 3) Cappelletti: corn, chanterelle and nasturtium. 4) Ontario walleye: porcini, lobster mushroom, sherry and chevril. Stunning dishes!!😋
.
Take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure and experience Foxy!!
