We are just days away from the beginning of our awesome local food festival! Canmore Uncorked officially kicks off this year with a new public Launch Party and Chef of the Festival competition this Tuesday night at the Cornerstone Theatre.

Cole Millard

16-year-old Cole Millard is no stranger to the kitchen or cooking competitions – he’s trained with and been mentored by top chefs locally and from around the world and was recently a contestant on the Chopped Canada Teen Tournament.  I spoke with him about his participation in Tuesday night’s Chef of the Festival competition.

The Canmore Uncorked Launch Party goes from 7 – 10 PM Tuesday night – get your $25 tickets here.  The Uncorked festival itself begins in earnest Wednesday with set price menus at restraurants all over Canmore and other special events – click here for all the details.
