BC Chef’s Society Dinner
Thomas Haas Chef It was billed as the dinner of a lifetime.

World AIDS Day at Cioppino’s in Yaletown
For the last 10 years, Lesley and Mike Rogers have hosted a World AIDS Day luncheon in support of Vancouver based charity – A Loving Spoonful. This year, they celebrated the anniversary with the help of friends and super chef Pino Posteraro at the stylish Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill and Enoteca in Vancouver’s Yaletown district. Decadent short rib pasta followed by the perfect piece of fillet steak, helped remind everyone that Chef Pino and his crew are some of the most talented in the city. The Loving Spoonful delivers approximately 1,750 meals per day to those suffering from HIV/AIDS. To date, close to 2,000,000 meals have been delivered. With the Christmas season upon us, it’s nice to know that thanks to families like Lesley and Mike Rogers, giving can continue all year long. (more…)
