ALL BIDS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Cheese Boutique and the Toronto Zoo would like to thank all bidders and prize winners for making our festival a successful collaboration of good will. Your donations through the month of May served to fund the conservation of wild animals and their habitats for future generations to come.

The Toronto Zoo's campaign will carry on into June with their event on June 22, Seafood for Thought. We will be a guest presenter at this culinary extravaganza where they pack a whole month of Festival of Chefs into one enchanted outdoor evening on the Zoo's grounds. Hope to see you there!

New to the Festival of Chefs was a charitable Silent Auction. With your help, we raised funds for the Toronto Zoo and their vital Conservation Programs-- an effort to ensure the survival of endangered species around the globe.

Proceeds of this auction were donated to the Zoo.

The prizes consisted of a full service tasting menu lunch for 4, prepared by a Festival Chef, at our Guest table in the front window of the store. 

Each Chef provided one lunch, making ten prizes in all, plus two prizes provided by the Toronto Zoo.

Below is the list of the full prize details:
