Salt & Brick Calgary Shines at The Stampede Cellar Showdown International Wine Competition, Winning Two Prestigious Awards
2024年6月27日 - 1:23AM
Salt & Brick, Calgary’s newest culinary gem, proudly announces
its double victory at the Stampede Cellar Showdown International
Wine Competition on June 22, 2024. This prestigious event, part of
the Calgary Stampede’s commitment to agriculture and the Agri-Food
industry, showcased the best Canadian and international wines
alongside gourmet offerings from Alberta’s top restaurants. Salt
& Brick restaurant was awarded the “Spirit of the West
Innovation” and “Grand Champion” awards.
Held at the newly expanded BMO Centre, this event celebrated the
pinnacle of Western hospitality, Canadian and international wines,
and local culinary innovation. Attendees enjoyed an all-inclusive
sampling of champion wines paired with gourmet bites, crafted to
complement the bold reds and crisp whites.
Salt & Brick’s culinary team, led by Executive Chef
Alejandro Buzzalino, delivered an outstanding performance. Chef
Alejandro's creation - a foie gras pressé with a Haskap berry gelée
on a homemade red fife crisp, garnished with locally sourced
micro-greens, was a standout, earning high praise. Reflecting on
the event, Chef Alejandro commented, "Our goal is to create and
share the best food in Calgary. Being part of an event like this
with our industry peers is what makes this community so incredible.
Winning in two categories and taking home two buckles, is a huge
honour!"
Owner Casey Greabeiel added, "We have chosen the best chefs to
collaborate with us and have given them the flexibility to create a
menu that changes daily. We are grateful for the successes since
our doors opened in November 2023, but a lot of people still don’t
know who we are! Earning accolades like this helps put Salt &
Brick on the map. I am so proud of our team."
Chef Alejandro will compete on July 8th at the District of
Beltline’s 2nd Annual Chef Showdown, and on July 11th at the
Cowboys BBQ Cook-off Invitational.
