In June 2017, Culinary Adventure Co. partnered with Ritz-Carlton to offer tours exclusively for the hotel's guests.[10] That month, Durkee and a chef from the Ritz-Carlton went on a one-day tasting tour to six Canadian cities, traveling from coast-to-coast in 24 hours to create a "Taste of Canada" menu.[11] The Metro News described the event as "The Great Canadian Food Race".[12]
