On Feb. 12, Taste Alberta and the Alberta Diabetes Foundation are teaming up to put on the #ABFoodFight Celebrity Culinary Combat! TV food personality, author, and home economist Mairlyn Smith will “battle” local Chef Steve Brochew of the award-winning French-Canadian restaurant Chartier, in a timed food box challenge hosted by the Edmonton Journal’s food and feature writer Liane Faulder.
The event, which takes place at The Westin Edmonton downtown from 11:30-1:30, will teach attendees about healthy eating and eating local, and how these two things can help turn the tide against the diabetes epidemic in Alberta.
The Alberta Diabetes Foundation, with its #ABFoodFight campaign, is taking action to share information to help arm Albertans with the tools they need to create a healthy lifestyle, including using the rich, healthy, tapestry of products available locally.
Buy tickets to the #ABFoodFight Culinary Combat
All proceeds will support the Alberta Diabetes Foundation funding innovative research for the prevention, treatment and cure of diabetes, so it’s a truly wonderful cause, which is why I’m very excited to partner with Taste Alberta and the Alberta Diabetes Foundation to raise awareness for the event— and give away a pair of tickets!

Sorry didn’t mean to leave multiples!
I have a slight addiction to cooking composites. My all time favourite is Top Chef!
Right now I am really enjoying the Kids Baking Championship – especially since we have an Edmontonian in the competition.
I absolutely love Chef Gordon Ramsay and his outbursts on Hell’s Ktchen! The food always looks so delicious and makes me so hungry! The competitions are fun to watch and I love how stressful the dinner services can be.
Chopped is so good but iron chef is amazing
Master chef! Also Beat Bobby Flay!
I havent watched many, but I did enjoy Hells Kitchen, as I think I can relate to Chef Ramsay :-) plus I am a Diabetic, so this is going to a great cause!
I would say Hell’s Kitchen!

I love Hell’s Kitchen and Masterchef.
Definitely Master Chef
Cooks vs. Cons!!
I found Top Chef Junior. To listen to 12 year-olds speak like they’ve been around for 50 about the French chefs that inspire them. These kids can cook!!! It’s down to the final 3 and I can’t wait to see who takes it. Just amazing!
Top Chef Junior
Cupcake wars was always my fave
I love all the Baking Championships and Beat Bobby Flay.

Grocery Games, for the comedic value
My favourite cooking show right now Ian Chopped!!!
The original Japanese Iron Chef. The dubbed translated voices were awesome.
The great British baking show.
I love watching Chopped!
Top Chef!
There are so many great ones that it’s hard to choose!! I love Beat Bobby Flay because it showcases the top talent from across the US, and I always learn something watching Bobby in the kitchen! I also have been a longtime fan of The Great British Bakeoff, and was so excited to watch the first season of the The Great Canadian Bakeoff this past year! It’s amazing what home bakers can do in such a short time! I’m always inspired to try a new recipe!! And it was so amazing that the top three finalists were positive women role models representing all ages and backgrounds. Excited for the next season!
Top chef all the way!
Masterchef Canada. Great to see all the talented cooks around the country!
My favourite show is Chopped.
The Great British Bake-off ????????

Iron Chef, especially when the challenger wins
Chopped Jr! we watch as a family. Great show to encourage kids to cook and eat healthy

Top Chef totally.
Hi Linda:
My all-time favourite TV food show is “Mind of a Chef;’ however, it’s not truly a ‘competition,’ per se. So, to answer your question, I have to agree with the posters who appreciate Chopped.
i love all the cooking competition shows, but BEST hands down:
COME DINE WITH ME!
love watching how people decorate, shop and then execute complete dinners for 4 other strangers….HILARIOUS
thanks for the contest Linda
