The Karbelniks are well-experienced celebrity chefs – Erica took home the crown on season 3 of Chopped Canada as well as the most recent season of Food Network Canada’s Top Chef Canada. Her husband Josh also competed on the Top Chef show, and is well known in Toronto’s elite culinary scene. In 2016, the Karbelniks applied for Chopped Canada and both ended up winning. In 2021, both decided to enter and compete in season 9 of Top Chef Canada – a renowned cooking competition well-recognized and anticipated in households across the country. Josh made it to the final four, and Erica won the title of Top Chef Canada! Since these massive wins, the Karbelniks have begun to blend their superb culinary prowess with their love of cannabis – working with other chefs and hosting fine dining events that feature marijuana-infused cooking. Currently, they offer private dining experiences, with cannabis infusion as an option – one that seems to be gaining in popularity.  

Just last year, we launched our SENSES Supper Series in partnership with Travis Petersen, aka The Nomad Cook. Erica and Josh were part of our very first SENSES Wake & Bake Brunch event in July 2021, and also at our Sept 10 dinner. We are so excited to team up with this amazing duo for our upcoming SENSES dinner on Saturday, April 23!
