Chef Sam Medeiros emerged as the winner in the first culinary battle held by The Chef Collective in Toronto in about three years.

The competition, which took place at Boehmer restaurant, saw Medeiros impress the judges with a three-course dinner featuring Ontario beef, Meyer Natural, and Egg Farmers of Ontario. His winning menu included a beef tenderloin egg roll with lime vinaigrette, pear and toasted sesame; a beef striploin katsu with nduja, fresh oyster sauce, kumquat, radish, and celery; and a cinnamon sugar churro with chocolate dip and Baileys for dessert.

As the winner, Medeiros received two round-trip tickets to Lima, Peru, $1,000 in spending money, and a $2,000 credit toward professional shared kitchen space Syzl.

The event also supported Habitat for Humanity Canada, with a portion of ticket sales and a donation of $4,000 worth of fixtures from American Standard and Grohe going to the charity.
