 Dine Alberta 2009
Dine Alberta Restaurant:
Madison’s Grill & The Union Bank Inn
10053 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, 780-401-2222
Executive Chef Blair Lebsack
Blair’s trademark is “Cultivated Canadian Cuisine.” He is inspired by exceptional local products, and displays his passion through seasonally inspired menus created for Madison’s Grill and the Union Bank Inn’s Banquet spaces.
Chef Blair believes in the slow food movement while taking the time to properly prepare soups, stocks and sauces from scratch. One of his ongoing initiatives, in support of the Slow Cooking Movement and 100 Mile Diet, is the Menu Supris. This menu feature is a Culinary Adventure, with the courses not revealed until they reach the table. This allows him to showcase local artisan suppliers and specialty ingredients that may not be produced on a large enough scale for a regular menu item.
Blair was recently invited to join Travel Alberta and Edmonton Tourism on a Media PR initiative to raise awareness of Alberta Cuisine to the LA market. This experience found Blair preparing a 4 Course Alberta Themed Dinner, in the prestigious kitchen of Spago, in Beverly Hills, LA.
