Last night, NVICA chefs gathered in Parksville for a great Chefs’ Night Out at Mount Arrowsmith Brewing Company Smokehouse. The team delivered bold smokehouse flavours, well-crafted local beer, and warm hospitality that made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. From thoughtfully prepared smoked meats to house-made sides, the quality and care were evident throughout. A highlight of the evening was connecting with culinary students. We’re excited to build stronger relationships and support the next generation of chefs as they enter our industry. These nights are about more than just great food. They give us the opportunity to step out of our own kitchens, connect with fellow chefs, share ideas, and support the local establishments that strengthen our regional culinary scene. Thank you to the Mount Arrowsmith team for hosting us, and to everyone who made the trip. We’re already looking forward to the next Chefs’ Night Out.
