Unveiling the Legacy

Delta Hotels by Marriott Calgary Downtown is thrilled to announce a unique culinary experience that honors the legacy of David Thompson, the esteemed land geographer who charted the western territories of Canada in the late 1700s.

This unique event offers an unparalleled dining adventure that combines the art of fine cuisine and storytelling with the rich historical tapestry of Thompson’s explorations. In a captivating blend of live cooking demonstrations and theatrical storytelling, culinary explorers will experience the epic narratives and adventurous spirit of Thompson’s journeys.

In this culinary journey, showcasing a fusion of local and historical flavors, each course unfolds like a chapter in an epic tale. The meal begins with succulent lamb, followed by a velvety butternut squash and coconut velouté. Then on to a vibrant grilled artichoke and duck salad, followed by a refreshing palate cleanser setting the stage for the bold stout-glazed bison pastrami. For dessert, delicate wild rose panna cotta rounds out this spectacular experience. Each course is a story that is complemented with cocktails featuring premium whiskeys—the favoured drink of the era— like Bulliet Bourbon, Canadian Reserve Rye, White Owl Whiskey and Crown Royal, creating a dramatic sensory voyage for a lucky few.
