Gibsons Public Market: Demo & Dine with Chef Heidi
Enjoy a night of Tropical Tiki Adventure with Chef Heidi, aka Gidget.
Chef Heidi Murphy—co-owner of The Shameful Tiki Room and founder of El Segundo—invites guests to a Demo & Dine that dives headfirst into the era of old-school tiki. Expect bamboo bar energy. Layered flavours. Big garnishes. Dim lights. Storytelling through food. This evening showcases bold, nostalgic, flavour-forward bites inspired by the golden era of tiki, crafted with fresh ingredients from Fong’s Market and executed with chef-level precision.
Guests will experience:
• Tiki-inspired appetizers with depth, spice, and just enough indulgence
• Rum-driven cocktails featuring dramatic garnish techniques
• Hosting tips to create a personal tropical hideaway
• Styling inspiration that leans retro — not tacky
This is escapism done right. A little theatrical. A little cheeky. Fully intentional.
For anyone who has ever wanted to host something that feels more like a secret club than a summer BBQ, this is the night.
Come hungry. Come curious. Let Gidget handle the rest.
Tickets are $75 plus tax and include a welcome drink and dinner. Additional drinks will be available for purchase.
Limited seats available—reserve early to secure your spot!
WHEN: Friday, March 20
TIME: 5:30 – 7:30 pm
WHERE: Community Kitchen, Level 1
