In this summer edition of your fast delivery, we have prepared a summary of the latest news including the start of a new festival where ramen noodles will be in the spotlight, novelties for Benny&Co, an honorary certificate for Pizza Salvatore and the challenge to cook for artists performing at festivals.
Let's start with the recent announcement of the arrival of a brand new festival like Pizza Fest or Poutine Week. This time, it is the organizers behind YATAI MTL who are launching the Ramen Ramen festival and which they will present from October 11 to 16. The goal is to celebrate this way of eating noodles, in a hot and rich broth. In terms of popularity, this Japanese dish has overtaken sushi and, with the festival, we want to encourage even more the development of the offer of these dishes.
Thus, fans of this ramen soup will have to visit restaurants on the island of Montreal to find the perfect recipe. A public prize will be awarded among the most popular dishes on Facebook and a jury will do the same. The list of participating restaurants and their recipes will be posted later in the summer.
Let's continue with a news about Benny&Co and chef Martin Juneau. Indeed, the Quebec rotisserie banner has partnered with the Quebec chef, owner of Pastaga, to develop a fried chicken burger recipe that will be offered on the chain's menu throughout the summer. Another collaboration with the chef is not ruled out.
The chain mentions that this association brings notoriety to the burger and will be talked about as it launches a new restaurant concept that includes a dining room with a liquor license. In addition to always offering chicken thighs and breasts, the leaders of Benny&Co are always looking for the element that can differentiate them from other rotisseries.
This time, it's another Quebec chain, which has the wind in its sails, which made people talk about it as far away as the National Assembly when the member for Beauce-Sud, Samuel Poulin, gave the owners from Pizza Salvatore an honorary certificate marking the opening of their 50th branch.
We have talked about it extensively over the past two years in different editions of Quick Delivery, the banner has experienced rapid growth as it has grown from 24 to 51 restaurants. Investments of $10 million were required.
Let’s finish by talking about the cooks who work to fill the mouths of the artists who come to entertain the crowds during the Festival d’été de Québec. This event, which took place from July 6 to 16 in Quebec City, welcomes around a hundred artists. The challenge is considerable when it is necessary to feed these stars but also their team and to take into account the diets of each one as well as the allergies.
This year, the Hono Izakaya, Sushibox and Colibri restaurants, which share the same owners, have mastered the challenge by preparing these meals the same day.
