Hell's Kitchen Finale Celebration at Araxi

Comments 139 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Season six of FOX’s hit series Hell’s Kitchen, featuring Chef Gordon Ramsay, is coming to a close and the winner will claim the Head Chef position at Araxi Restaurant in Whistler, working under Executive Chef James Walt. To celebrate the finale and to welcome the new Head Chef, they’re holding a red carpet episode viewing party at Araxi on Tuesday October 13th.

While feasting on finely-crafted canapés, seductive seafood, premium cocktails and fabulous wines, big screen televisions will place you in prime position to track the action, while three contestants become one. In attendance, will be the final four contestants, all vying for a position to work for Araxi’s Executive Chef James Walt as Whistler welcomes the world to the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Araxi

This is where John and I had probably the best meal of our lives just a few months ago, and I had the opportunity to interview Executive James Walt a while back as well.

Tickets for this exclusive event are $125 and I have been given the opportunity to invite one lucky Miss604.com reader (plus guest).

Pork server three ways - Araxi Petits Fours

Here’s how to get your chance to win admission to this fabulous event: Head to the Araxi website, find one menu item you would love to try, then list it in my comments section below. There are several menus to choose from including Raw Bar, Small Plate, Main Plates, Desserts, Cheese, Tasting Menus, and their Live Tank options.

I will draw the winner Friday October 9th so that they have time to plan their trip to Whistler on the 13th, good luck!

Update October 9th @ 3:00pm: The contest is now closed. Please stay tuned while I draw the winner which will be announced in a video.

Update October 9th @ 4:00pm: I had trouble uploading the video but this is the best result, and it event cuts off at the end where I say “So, stay tuned for more Miss604.com contests since I have one coming up for Halloween.” Thanks everyone!

Update October 9th @ 5:25pm: Oh no! The winner, Mark Lise, cannot attend so I drew another name and it’s “ApollineR”. I have contacted the second winner and hopefully someone will be able to join us at Araxi on Tuesday. Jullie is also hosting a contest where she is giving away the Araxi cookbook, you can enter over on her site.

Update October 10th @ 6:00pm: ApollineR cannot make it on Tuesday so I have now drawn FilmGoerJuan’s name as the winner. Hopefully someone is free to attend on Tuesday.

Update October 12th: Fifth time’s a charm! Congratulations, Robyn!

The winner will receive admission + guest for the event. This prize does not include transportation to Whistler or accommodation.

  2. Rob LongTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:06am PDT

    I would like to try the Pemberton Meadows Beef Carpaccio

  3. Kelly GordonTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:08am PDT

    Vancouver Island Octopus sounds amazing!!!

  4. JoanneTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:11am PDT

    There was quite a few choices and wasn’t easy to choose from. But this sounds amazingly delicious – Confit of Spring Lamb.
    Hope I get the chance to try it out! =)

  5. Jules (FrizzBarks)Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:13am PDT

    Mmm, the Dungeness Crab Salad looks yummy.

  6. BlissfulGirlTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:16am PDT

    Yikes! Pick just one!?!?

    Tough call, but I’d go with Canada Prime Beef Tenderloin … it would be easier to pick one from EACH menu 😉

  7. LyndseyTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:23am PDT

    I would love to try the:

    Roasted Loin of Venison
    Langstaff kale and swiss chard, curry scented carrot puree
    local crabapple sauce and gaufrette potatoes

    Though John Smith’s choice as well as that of Rob Long sound amazing also!! Really hard to choose just one =)

    Here’s to crossin my fingers =)

  8. KeldieTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:26am PDT

    I would have to try the Qualicom Beach Scallops….or maybe the Wild Mushroom Risotto….no I think the Scallops.

    So hard to choose. Maybe a sampler of everything would be in order 🙂

  9. StefanTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:33am PDT

    I would also love to try the: Roasted Loin of Venison. Sounds absolutely delicious. Then again the whole menu sounds delicious.

  10. Tyler IngramTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:33am PDT

    Too many things to try but I want to try the:

    Vancouver Island Octopus

    Sounds yummi!

    Why aren’t the Beef Wellingtons on the list??

  11. Miss604Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:35am PDT

    @Tyler, I think they change up the menus pretty often. Depends on what’s in season and adds variety etc.

  12. CandiceTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:37am PDT

    ok… really.. just one? its a toss between the Wild Mushroom Risotto and the Confit of Spring Lamb. I love love Risotto – and i am always looking for new ways to try lamb…. mmmmm

  13. Christy HickmoreTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:37am PDT

    Who wouldn’t want to try everything on the menu??? I would be keen to taste the Roasted Loin of Venison. Yummy in my Tummy!!

  14. Kenny LouieTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:38am PDT

    I’d have to go with the Roasted Loin of Venison. The curry scented carrot puree is too intriguing.

  15. Marilyn BurgessTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:41am PDT

    The are so many tasty options to choose from! I’d likely start with the Moonstruck White Grace Cheese Souffle, then the Qualicum Beach Scallops, and then to finish it of the Apple Cheesecake!

  16. ColleenTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:41am PDT

    I have always wanted to try their 100 mile menu and the chiliwack corn & basil soup with the wile sockeye salmon sounds amazing!

  17. OanaTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:41am PDT

    How can I say no to the foie gras parfait??

  18. GregTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:41am PDT

    Yummy!

    I’ve always wanted to go to Araxi!

    I definately want to try the Wild Seafood Trio, just sounds SO good!

  19. JenTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:41am PDT

    Wow – I think this is your best contest yet!

    And I’d totally go for the Sloping Hills Pork off the 100 mile menu. Pork Belly has to be one of my favourite things, ever.

  20. WillTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:48am PDT

    The lamb, venison, and scallops would all give me a tough time deciding who should be left out. If only there were a “three-tier” of these dishes.

    Now, since I’ve chosen three dishes does that disqualify me from the contest?

  21. Carla ShoreTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:51am PDT

    I’m salivating over the Vancouver Island Octopus. Sounds so interesting. This is one I’d love to win. I’ve really liked the show this season!

  22. Richard LoatTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:51am PDT

    The Rissoto sounds good, that’s my pick 🙂

  23. JaniceTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:54am PDT

    I would love to try the Vancouver Island Octopus, partly because I’ve never tried local octopus, and partly because the pairing with Moroccan ingredients sounds really intriguing!

  24. MelTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:55am PDT

    ooh, I would love to have the arctic char!

  25. DaveTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:55am PDT

    Araxi Three Tier Seafood Tower
    all of the above with the addition of local tuna sushi
    and a whole Nova Scotia lobster!
    Wow that would be an incredible feast!

  28. Meghan GrossTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:56am PDT

    Qualicum Beach Scallops with fresh Chilliwack corn, roasted chorizo, radish and green bean salad whole prairie mustard seed and maple vinaigrette.

    Sounds so delicious and it’s local!

  29. RobynTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:58am PDT

    I am a HUGE fan of Chef Gordon Ramsay and Hell’s Kitchen. Browsing their menu online I really appreciate how Araxi Restaurant incorporates local ingredients into their dishes.

    So, if I had to choose off their menu, I would choose something I would not normally order -*** Araxi Three Tier Seafood Tower ***

  30. Erik MTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 10:58am PDT

    Definitely the BC Sablefish! Sounds tasty… thanks for another great
    contest!

  31. JasonTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 11:01am PDT

    I’m all over the Valrhona Chocolate Fondant. Notice I went directly to the “desserts” section?

  32. Tyler IngramTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 11:01am PDT

    Rebecca, yea I know but after watching last season I want one! Uhoh.. Robyn is eyeing the $135 raw bar item! lol

    BTW who else watches his other shows such as the F Word and Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares?

    For my gluten-free dietary needs, that would awesome!

  40. Christine BakerTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 11:32am PDT

    I would like to try the 4 Course Tasting Menu…with the extra wine pairing option…of course!

    I like the idea of the 100 mile challenge- I love the fact that Araxi is supporting the local community while being environmentally responsible.

    The specific item on this menue I would like to taste:

    Qualicum Beach Scallops
    pomme mousseline, radish and green bean salad
    with honey and fresh herb vinaigrette

  41. SharylinTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 11:35am PDT

    It all looks & sounds so delectable! BC Sablefish would be the one menu item I’d like to try as I’ve never had Sablefish before and I like the fact that $2 is donated to the World Wildlife Federation.

    Wild Mushroom Risotto.

    Of course I fully expect it to be made 3-4 times before it makes it out to me (if the show is any indication).

  44. DilaraTuesday, October 6th, 2009 — 11:37am PDT

    Everything sounds so good! It’s hard to pick one thing…

    I’d really like to try the BC Sablefish.

    Oh alright then, ‘Wild Mushroom Risotto’ it is!

  81. Lynn MontesThursday, October 8th, 2009 — 7:33am PDT

    Qualicom Beach Scallops – can I just say how I love the fact that they use locally grown items on their menu! It makes me feel so proud that we have such an abundance of wonderful things here in our part of the world! We really do live in the best place on earth!!! 🙂
