A few words about Bon Vivant

In secondary school, this trade crossed my mind but I abandoned the idea. Then as fate would have it, I found myself heading up a restaurant with my family straight out of secondary school. After working long hours and operating an establishment for 7 years, I had developed a very strong work ethic. However, I felt something was missing. I was a kind of self-taught restaurateur and was at the point in my life where I was looking for greater opportunities to attain more professional kitchen knowledge. This became a key goal of mine and soon I was enrolled at the renowned Stratford Chefs School. After graduating the grueling two year course, I refined my cooking style at such establishments as, “Albion Hotel” (Bayfield). “The Church Restaurant” (Stratford, ON), “The London Hunt & Country Club” (London, ON). Sous Chef the Little Inn of Bayfield (Bayfield).
