My Mission
"Connect, contribute, and inspire through food, people, and shared passion."
WRITING
Always the Sous, Never the Chef
I count my career blessings often. Some of my earliest are the lessons I learned in the restaurant where my career began: L’Escargot in Hamilton, Ontario, owned by Swiss-French chef André Donnet.
L’Escargot was located in a blue-collar neighbourhood just behind the Delta Bingo, nowhere near the city’s trendy Hess Village. André was confident of his talents at the stove and knew people would come to him and, more importantly, he knew what he could afford.
