Four years and 500 (+) posts later, Food Gypsy has a life of it’s own.  

Culinary duo…

Joining forces to present a united gastronomic front, Corinna Horton, the creative voice behind Food Gypsy, and fiance Chef Benoit Gelinotte, stepped out to showcase their own take(s) on creative cuisine.  Late in 2013 and in January 2014, they appeared on Ottawa’s CTV Morning Live talking about party food to ring in the new year and wedding food trends.

Guesting as time allows, Corinna often appears on local television talking great food and BIG flavour.

The little burger that could… 

A Food Gypsy original, winner of Taste of Home Canada’s Burger-Off in their premier issue (June 2013); The Lamburghini tastes every bit as good and it sounds.  This win qualified Corinna (and team) to compete at the World Food Championships (WFC) in Las Vegas, November 7 – 9th, 2013.

In Vegas Team Food Gypsy placed 5th overall in the World Burger Championships and became a featured competitor in the WFC television series which aired on FYI TV (USA & Canada) earlier this year.  Here’s a little taste of Corinna’s “Amazin’ Asian Burger’ at the World Food Championships with host Jeffery Saad.

Getting ready for the World Food Championships, Corinna appeared as a guest on Daytime Ottawa and CTV’s Ottawa Morning Live.  Coverage of Team Food Gypsy’s burger success was included, along with other Ottawa competitors, the Pistol Packin’ Piggies in Ron Eade’s Omnivore Ottawa in the Ottawa Citizen on line.
