In Chefs Own Words
"Raised in the Lower Mainland, I am inspired by the culture and histories of people from around the world, and a firm believer in working with what you have available to you. I have built a team who aspires to challenge our culinary repertoire prepared in-house. My dishes are 'gardenesque' and designed to celebrate the flavours of British Columbia’s seasons, harvested from the gardens of VanDusen Botanical Garden."
