Flavours of Canada presents: The World's Longest Barbecue 2006 Edition
5514 kilometres, 6 time zones, 33 million guests
From the Flavours of Canada press release:
Wherever they live on earth Canadians are being challenged to log on, register, then head to their grills on Saturday August 5 at 6 p.m. to create The World's Longest Barbecue--one of the largest food events in Canada, if not globally. They are then asked to spread the word.
Barbecue creator and culinary activist, Anita Stewart says: "The World's Longest Barbecue was, and is, a pride-filled grass roots celebration of our extraordinary agricultural bounty. It gives Canadians a chance to barbecue Canadian food and quaff Canadian beverages — usually of the frosty sort and share their stories."
It's all about Canada! Support Canadian agriculturalists. Cook Canadian on August 5.
Registered participants have an opportunity to win dozens of cookbooks and a grand prize of a Weber Silver C gas grill valued at $850. Selections will be based on the most interesting example of a Canadian menu and a random draw.
