Whistler’s Bearfoot Bistro has announced the return of Masquerave. After a five year hiatus and many pleas to resurrect the sensational event of the year, Bearfoot Bistro owner, André Saint-Jacques, has re-invented Masquerave as a benefit event for ONE DROP, an initiative of Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil®. Masquerave will feature some of the country’s top chefs, international wineries and entertainment. The gastronomic extravaganza takes place Saturday, November 12th, 2011, from 7pm – 4am.
With the culinary experience taking centre stage, the evening will highlight six chefs from British Columbia and six chefs from the province of Québec, each creating masterful canapés at separate food stations, to complement the exquisite creations designed by Bearfoot’s award-winning executive chef, Melissa Craig. Guests will sip from a range of 40 local and international wines, and celebrate with Dom Pérignon champagne. Chefs lending their skills to the event include ‘C’s’ Rob Clarke, Gord Martin from Bin 941 and Go Fish, Cioppino’s Pino Posterero, Vikram Vij from Vij’s, and Hidekazu Tojo from Tojo’s Restaurant; also joining the chefs will be Joe Forte’s oyster shucker ‘Oyster Bob.’
International DJs with live musicians, light shows, burlesque-style entertainment, and circus art performance will ignite the evening, while models adorned with winery-inspired body paintings will add the element of eroticism now synonymous with Masquerave.
While also raising the bar for the event, Saint-Jacques has set his sights on donating a significant sum of money to ONE DROP, an organization that fights poverty worldwide through supporting access to water. Funds will also support Whistler’s Ecole La Passerelle (Francophone school) and the Whistler-Blackcomb Foundation.
