Canada’s Great Kitchen Party is a national culinary competition with over 100 Chefs and 5,000 guests gathering annually across twelve cities in Canada. With a 13 year successful history, this evening of celebration and elevation of Canadian culture in food, sport, and music has raised $15 million for Canadian athletes and as of 2018, the impact has expanded to include music and food programs for youth.

Reigning silver medalist of Canada’s Culinary Championship 2018 for Nova Scotia, Chef Dolente, and his culinary team will once again compete in Canada’s Great Kitchen Party, an evening of celebration and elevation of Canadian culture in food, sport and music, set for Friday, October 18 at the Cunard Centre in Halifax. Tickets available HERE.

Behind every great Chef, is a great culinary team and Chef Dolente’s will be supporting him in full during the competition.  With the absence of skilled hands in our kitchen at The Carleton this Friday, October 18, Chef Dolente has graciously created a Snack-able Menu for guests to enjoy.

The Snack-able Menu will be available from the time we open for Happy Hour, at 4pm and all throughout Geoff Kennedy’s free acoustic show at 6pm, as well as the Second Line Parade Album Release at 10pm!

Of course, the bar is still open.  And don’t worry, the full menu will be back Saturday, October 19th!

Mike Campbell talks about his journey over the past ten years with HUFF on Global, August 22, 2019.

As seen in Flightnetwork’s Article – 19 Spots to Eat, Drink, and Be Merry in Halifax, by Keith Perrotta.

“The Carleton combines two of my favorite things – great music and amazing food! Housed in one of the city’s oldest stone buildings (built-in 1760) it’s a refreshing blend of historical and modern as well. Both an award-winning music venue and seriously delicious restaurant, this place makes for a great night. Talented chef Michael Dolente has made this place a foodie hotspot while live musical talent keeps your ears happy too! It’s the perfect recipe for a night out with friends or that special someone sampling the culinary and musical delights of Halifax. Pro tip: Happy Hour is from 4-6 so be sure to get some super affordable bites and drinks before dinner! Their menu is filled with local and fresh pickings and is sure to please.”

We are very proud to be a part of this great guide for those looking for a true Halifax experience.
