Chef Dan Hudson with Chefs Chuck Hughes & Danny Smiles on Vancouver Island
Island Time
The first BC stop was in the second episode when Chefs Chuck & Danny took their road trip to Vancouver Island for some Island Time. After setting up camp in Goldstream Provincial Park, not far from the British Columbia capital Victoria, and armed with good advice from local Cowichan Valley Chef Dan Hudson, Chuck & Danny went looking for grass-fed chicken, local seafood and more. Donning wet suits and diving into the ocean, the two chefs tried their hand at seaweed harvesting and eating freshly caught sea urchins right on the boat. Then back to the campsite to cook up a feast.
Chef Brooke Winters with Chefs Danny Smiles & Chuck Hughes on Salt Spring Island
Salt of the Earth
Next it was over to Salt Spring Island to experience the Salt of the Earth. In this BC episode, local Chef Brooke Winters who believes in providing local organic food to people in a fresh and affordable way, provided Chuck & Danny with the low down on the very best local vegetables and country’s finest lamb. Chuck tried his hardest to catch a salmon which managed to elude him, but an unexpected catch made for an excellent Salt Spring seafood feast for the locals.
The fifth-wheel for this trip was provided by Sunwest RV in collaboration with Go RVing Canada. According to Chris Mahony, President of Go RVing Canada, who tagged along for the west coast leg of Chuck and Danny’s RV travels on Vancouver Island, “Chuck and Danny truly embrace the camping lifestyle in this series and experienced RV living during their journey,” recalls Mahony. “And there may have been a few friendly bets and fun chirps between the chefs calling dibs on who got the luxury king-size bed vs. the cozy pull-out sofa in the RV!”
If you love camping and cooking make sure you watch Chuck & Danny’s Road Trip and experience some of the best scenery and freshest ingredients provided by local farmers, fishermen and foragers that Canada offers from coast-to-coast. An impressive and delicious RVing and cooking adventure.
