Chef Jenny Kang wins 2018 Pig & Pinot competition
The 8th annual Pig & Pinot Festival was presented by City Palate, in support of Calgary Meals on Wheels. 12 award-winning Calgarian chefs offered their best pork dish to be paired with pinot noir wines from some of the city’s top suppliers.
Chef Jenny Kang of the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant won the 2018 Pig & Pinot competition on June 16, 2018 held at Hotel Arts. Kang collected the prestigious Divine Swine trophy for her Pork Meatball Arancini recipe.
For the Pork Meatball Arancini, Chef Jenny Kang’s winning dish, she combined a rich tomato sauce with a maple chili glaze, focusing the flavor infusion of the sauce into the meatball. Her goal was to present a dish that could be easily enjoyed by the most discerning palates, by encompassing principles of texture, simplicity, flavour and elegance.

Being able to give back to the community makes my job very special. Our restaurant engages regularly in community events and partakes in the Meals on Wheels Mealshare program. It’s great that the food industry has the power to help people in need.
