On the next episode of “Chef Artois”—an eight-part culinary miniseries in support of Rally for Restaurants—we’re heading to Toronto’s Entertainment District, where Lapinou Head Chef Jamie Ullrich will judge two home cooks as they try to make one of his signature dishes: handmade garganelli pasta infused with tomato vines and topped with a sauce made from the very same tomatoes that once clung to the stems that give this green pasta its hue.

Hosted by Pay Chen, “Chef Artois” takes you inside some of Toronto’s best kitchens, where renowned chefs will unveil the recipes behind their signature dishes. These chefs, however, won’t be making the dish. Instead, two home cooks will be putting their culinary skills to the test in a competition to earn the coveted title of Chef Artois alongside a $1,000 prize pack.

Will the contestants be able to recreate Chef Ullrich’s handmade pasta plate with only 60 minutes on the clock and no time to prep? Get a taste of the cookoff action below—then come back to torontolife.com/chefartois on September 30 for the full episode.
