The Vancouver Foodster Eggs Benedict Challenge was another success featuring Eggs Benedict creations from restaurants around Vancouver. Each restaurant featured their Eggs Bemedoct creation from June 15 – July 8, 2017. Our media judging panel determined the ultimate winners of the challenge, and this was quite the task as each judge who tasted each creation with a rigorous process based on taste, originality/uniqueness and presentation/appearance.
Our Media judges for this challenge were: Joyce Lam, David Grange and James Chung.
Each media judge will have scored the creation with a maximum of 40 points as follows: Overall Taste 20 points, Originality and Uniqueness 10 points, Presentation and Appearance 10 points). The total number of points a eggs benedict creation could earn is 120 points.
