Charity, Celebrity Chefs, Jeans and Pancakes: Diesel Pancake Event #dieselcrepes #OneXOne

juillet 17, 2014


On the beauftiful morning of Wednesday, July 9th, the Diesel Store downtown Montreal was buzzing with a hungry and excited crowd for a very special event, held for a great cause. The one and only chef Chuck Hughes was flipping pancakes for the ONEXONE Million Meals Movement. That’s right. Anyone and everyone had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the famous chef. You know, the one with his own show, Chuck’s Day Off? The one who defeated Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America? Yeah, him. He created a unique recipe just for the event organized by the 1Milk2Sugars PR firm, and he was joined by Danny Smiles (another local talent that was on Top Chef Canada), and many other familiar Montreal faces. Needless to say, the pancakes were fluffy and as delicious as the ones you’d imagined in the fantasies where Chuck personally cooks for you. He was playful, posed for photos and seemed so genuinely happy to be part of an event that’ll make a difference.



The Diesel Pancakes event was incredibly well attended: DJ Yo-C and DJ Abeille spun the coolest songs while we watched the chefs do their thing, Coeur de Pirate helped flip some pancakes, Miss Prêt à Manger handed healthy and refreshing smoothies, and pretty much every local news and entertainment outlet and blogger was there to cover the event.


ONEXONE is a charitable organization responsible for a program that can deliver a healthy breakfast for only $1 a day to First Nation’s schools. Jars at the event were filled with donations to help children in need. If you missed out, you can easily make a donation to the organization on their website at any time.

Not a bad way to start a random July hump day…
