SABOR’s annual seafood festival is now wrapped for the year but not before we assembled some good friends to help us end with a multi-course flavour bomb for 140 lucky ticket holders.

We had the pleasure of welcoming back Chef Lyndon Honda from the Sheraton Maui who decided to spend a couple days of his summer vacation exploring Edmonton after getting a little taste of what the city has to offer last year during our cultural exchange. Chef Rogelio Herrera of Calgary’s ALLOY Restaurant made the trek up to join us and Chef Edgar Gutierrez of Kanto 98 took the night off from his chinatown-based Filipino street food joint. Chef Lino and his amazing team rounded out the kitchen and added South Asian flavours to the mix.

The menu was unique, flavour filled and a feast for the senses.
