It has been a few months since the hugely successful return of the Strangers in the Night charity evening on the West Island. Organizer Larry Day recently handed out $100,000
Vikram Vij , owner of Vij s upscale restaurant and a former Dragon s Den panelist;
Chef Arnaud from Restaurant Boulay, Chef
Romeo from Restaurant Sho-dan downtown, Mandy and Rebecca from Mandy s Gourmet Salads ;
Paula Zavala and her Mexican tacos and philanthropist actor
Jimmy Chan with Garlic Shrimp
Guest judges include O
rla Johannes, Nicole Jones, Chantal Desjardins and
Kwabena Oduro from CBC News. âOur cooking segments are from diverse cultures and showing support for local restaurants and businesses,â says organizer and Laval resident
Seema Arora.
I watched the segment with the wonderful and charismatic Chef Romeo, who showed us how to make tuna avocado ceviche. Anybody who has ever eaten at Sho-dan knows Romeo as the type of owner who goes from table to table. During quarantine he is on the take-out and delivery circuit.
