Les Lauriers Gala 2022: Quebec City takes top honours
A highly anticipated evening
On June 20th, 2022, Windsor Station was full of food lovers for the Lauriers Gala.
The ceremony, hosted by the indefatigable Christian Bégin, was eagerly awaited by all after a Covid-induced three-year hiatus. True to form, Mr. Bégin was a humorous and entertaining host.
The guests had the chance to feast on small specialities concocted by several finalists from previous years!
The jury, composed of 6,000 members of the public (Brigade des Lauriers) and industry professionals (Marc-André Jetté, Anita Feng, Alexandre Taillefer, Lesley Chesterman, Paul Toussaint, Sophie Allaire, Mairie-Fleur St-Pierre and Colombe Saint-Pierre) had the daunting task of deciding between the nominees.
