publisher’ s note
Fifteen years ago Dine About Winnipeg was a restaurant event launched by Ciao! to celebrate local restaurants and bolster the dining scene during the icy temperatures of winter. Over the years, this multi-restaurant promotion has mobilized thousands of Winnipeggers to expand their culinary repertoire and discover new spots. DAW has engaged the restaurant community, and the city’ s best chefs to showcase what they do, and offer it at an incredible price. For many restaurants, presenting super-deals on their chef’ s creations at the beginning of February is a way of thanking regular patrons for their business throughout the year.
This event is about sharing the city’ s culinary story and drawing attention to great talent and cultural experiences this city offers. Restaurants showcase innovative and traditional dishes alike that represent creativity in their kitchens. This year, for the very first time, we are introducing special culinary events that add something new to the mix. Each of the events is unique and reflects the style of the restaurant. The group of restaurants breaking ground with this initiative are excited about giving customers a memorable meal with a new twist. Similarly, a series of culinary events, known as pop-up dinners has turned our attention to chefs Allan Pineda and Jeremy Senaris. We go inthekitchen and get the inside scoop on why Filipino cuisine is making such an impression on avid foodsters. If you don’ t yet know what ube is, I’ m betting it will make some“ food goals” lists for February!
