“We are blown away by the burgers that were entered in for this special week. I’ve always known that we had some talented people in our culinary scene and that will truly be on display during this competition. But what’s been really cool is that Cornwall will be participating in a global event of sorts. We have 13 Canadian cities spanning 6 provinces participating, including Ottawa, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Victoria, and Toronto. Not to mention our US neighbours such as Cleveland, Ohio, Buffalo, New York and Omaha, Nebraska who are also creating some amazing burgers. Overall 400 burger joints will embrace this celebration and that’s just mind-blowing!” said Sebastien “Mani” Manigat, Director of the Seaway Food Festival.
