Published on Main is bringing two out-of-town chefs into its kitchen for a one-night dinner this October.<\/p>\n
Chef-partner Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson will be joined by Stuart Brioza of San Francisco\u2019s Michelin-starred State Bird Provisions and Mandel Hitzer of Winnipeg\u2019s Deer + Almond for a multi-course menu inspired by Vancouver, San Francisco, and Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
The plan has been in the making for a few years. Stieffenhofer-Brandson and Brioza first connected during Published\u2019s early days, and have since cooked together at State Bird Provisions and Winnipeg\u2019s RAW. Hitzer, a longtime friend and collaborator of Stieffenhofer-Brandson, later joined the pair in San Fran.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis dinner is really a story about friendship and our shared culinary connection,\u201d Stieffenhofer-Brandson says in a release. \u201cMandel and I have shared more kitchens than I can count. Getting all three of us together in Vancouver for one night is going to be such an experience for our guests. I\u2019m really looking forward to having them in our kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tasting menu will feature dishes from all three chefs, with local ingredients, international influences, and a mix of acidity, heat, and spice worked into the evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cGus and Stuart are two of my favourite people to cook beside, and I always enjoy bringing a little bit of Winnipeg to Vancouver,\u201d Hitzer adds in the release. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s some serious restaurant pedigree at the table. Brioza co-founded State Bird Provisions with Nicole Krasinski, while Hitzer\u2019s Deer + Almond landed at number 50 on Canada\u2019s 100 Best Restaurants list for 2026. Published on Main holds a Michelin star and was recently ranked number 17 on the 2026 North America\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list.<\/p>\n
