🥂 Great Kitchen Party: Edmonton Regional Culinary Championship

This year’s Great Kitchen Party – Edmonton Regional brought together some of Canada’s top culinary talent, and Comets Crew Media was there to support Levi from Backstairs Burgers (Edmonton), capturing the dedication and craft behind his unforgettable dish. Known for transforming classic comfort food into bold, flavour-forward creations that are unmistakably his, Levi showcased exactly why he’s a standout in the Edmonton culinary scene.

From the moment guests arrived, the energy was contagious. The venue buzzed with excitement as live music, laughter, and the rich aroma of gourmet dishes filled the room. Guests moved from station to station, sampling beautifully presented plates that told stories of regional ingredients, creativity, and passion.

🍔 Levi’s station drew a steady crowd all night. Known for blending global flavours with his signature Backstairs Burgers style, he brought creativity and personality to every bite — serving up a dish that was unmistakably his.

What sets Levi apart isn’t just his flavour or technique — it’s the level of care and dedication he pours in behind the scenes. The late nights, the prep the night before, and the countless little adjustments that nobody talks about — all of it shows in every bite. Even with just one dish on display, he showed that exceptional food is as much about heart, persistence, and authenticity as it is about skill.

A familiar face at the Great Kitchen Party, Levi continues to return year after year, proudly representing Edmonton’s thriving culinary scene. Watching a local chef showcase his craft with such authenticity was a highlight of the night, and a reminder of the incredible talent right here in our city.

For Comets Crew Media, covering this event was about more than just food — it was about telling a story. We aim to present a personal and unique form of media — capturing real moments, genuine reactions, and the energy that makes each event special.

As the evening concluded, applause erupted for the chefs who competed. While awards were announced, the true celebration was the shared talent, creativity, and community spirit. The event highlighted how Edmonton chefs — and Canadian culinary talent overall — continue to innovate, inspire, and elevate local cuisine.

Attending the Great Kitchen Party reminded us why events like this matter. As the night wrapped up, it was clear Levi and the Backstairs Burgers team had left their mark. Their mix of creativity, flavour, and down-to-earth energy drew people in and kept them coming back for more. We have no doubt Levi will be invited back next year — and when he is, we know he’ll take it to the next level. The passion, the hustle, and the heart he brings to every dish are exactly what events like this are all about.
