Each chef has been handpicked for their creativity, authenticity, and obsession with cooking over real fire. This September, you’ll experience an incredible lineup featuring Chef Dwight Smith, Chef Lawrence LaPianta, Chef Rob Yu, Chef Matt Basile, Ryan & Jason Buising, Chef Josh Abramson, Chef Trevor Lui, Chef Suman Ali, and Chef Marissa Leon-John. These chefs don’t just cook — they tell stories through smoke. And the best part? Every single one is creating a unique, exclusive dish you won’t find anywhere else, all for just $7.50 (plus $20 festival entry). Even better, every bite and sip gives back: $0.50 from every food plate supports Feed Ontario, while $0.50 from every drink supports Second Harvest. At SMOKED, your appetite helps fuel communities across Ontario. In the weeks leading up to the festival, we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes videos, chef profiles, and sneak peeks of what’s coming to the grill. Whether you’re a foodie, a BBQ purist, or just love bold flavour, this is your chance to experience Canada’s top fire cooks all in one place.
