CALGARY, Jan. 24, 2017 /CNW/ - The Calgary Academy of Chefs and Cooks, a branch of the Canadian Culinary Federation, is proud to honour Corporate Chef Daryl Kerr of Great Events Group with the coveted Chef of the Year award.
Daryl Kerr receives the 2016 award based on exhibiting an inspiring passion for his craft, an unending pursuit of creativity and a commitment to promoting the local food industry in Calgary.
For over ten years, Daryl has performed as the Corporate Chef for Great Events Group, a food and beverage holding company in Calgary, Alberta. Under Daryl's culinary guidance, Great Events is proud to boast a number of Calgary's top restaurants including the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant, which is currently named to the Top Ten Restaurants in Western Canada, Cravings Market Restaurant, Office Gourmet Catering, Great Events Catering and more.

"Every day, my kitchen strives to create dishes that are unique, artistic, well-executed and, most importantly, mouth-watering. Dining should be a culinary experience that plays off every sense and transcends the typical eating routine turning it on its head –I have the privilege of coming to work every day and being not only a chef, but a scientist, an architect a designer and most importantly, a teacher. I want to thank the Chefs Academy for this honour and for challenging me not only as a chef but as a proud member of this city." Daryl Kerr, Corporate Chef, Great Events Group.
"Daryl continues to grow in his role as Corporate Chef for the Great Events Group. He constantly challenges himself to not only stay on trend, but to create new trends and to be at the top of the Canadian food industry," says Fred Malley, President of the Calgary Academy of Chefs and Cooks.
