"The 2010 Taste our Island Award"

Nominations are now open for the The PEI ADAPT Council 4th Annual Taste Our Island award.  This prestigious and much sought after award recognizes the Island's best innovative chefs and restaurateurs who are supporting our local food system.  Prince Edward Island’s bountiful and delicious harvest is part of what defines our land, heritage, and culture. Supporting local food strengthens the local economy and ensures we have a secure source of high quality produce.

Please help us by nominating someone whose outstanding culinary talents you admire. Your nominee should be someone who has built effective relationships with farmers, wholesalers and distributors in order to help sustain a regional agricultural food system in new, innovative and effective ways.

Last year's winner Chef Steven Hunter of The Victoria Village Inn http://www.victoriavillageinn.com, along with a committee of food aficionados, will evaluate incoming nominations and select the winners.  The judging criterion objectively evaluates how supportive the chef/restaurant is in promoting a local, sustainable food system. Each nominee is evaluated on the percentage of Island foods included on menus, how creatively the local foods initiative is profiled and how well the use of local foods is advertised and promoted to customers.

The winner will be awarded a full page feature article in PEI’s Tourism Guidebook, where the message will be communicated to over 100,000 readers. They will also be presented with a coveted, "Taste Our Island Award," display plate, handcrafted by Sabine Nuesch of Victoria’s Glass Studio, PEI.
