is TONIGHT and we have one more chef to tell you about - last but not least, it's Aron Pakan from !

Aron has been with the restaurant for 9 years of his 20 year career. After graduating from the Culinary Arts program at NAIT, Aron worked his way around the world, traveling from Edmonton, to Vancouver, to the Gold Coast of Australia, back to smoking meat in the true Texas style at MEAT. We're excited to try his cherry-glazed ribs at the event 👏

is TONIGHT and we have two more participating chefs to feature - up first is of Robert Spencer Hospitality!

Paul Shufelt followed his mom around the kitchen as a child but you could say his true culinary education began at 16. After over two decades in the business it was time for Chef Paul to go it alone and fulfill his dream of opening his own place - Workshop Eatery. This later grew to Robert Spencer Hospitality, with multiple locations of Woodshed Burgers, outlets at Edmonton Golf Courses, and the newest restaurant - Hayloft Steak & Fish. 
Along with sharing his love and knowledge of anything food related, Chef Paul enjoys giving back to the community by supporting two of his favourite charities, MS Canada, and Ronald McDonald House.
