Greetings, esteemed Paleters!
Having dedicated myself to the culinary arts for more than 15 years, including 7 years of professional experience, I possess a wealth of expertise in the realm of gastronomy. This includes a remarkable tenure of Four (4) years in the United States and Three (3) years on the enchanting Island of Jamaica. Throughout my journey, I have diligently served in various capacities within the restaurant industry, encompassing roles such as kitchen manager, sous chef, front-of-house manager, server, bartender, and busser. Moreover, I have had the privilege of working at esteemed establishments known for their sophistication and fast-paced environments.
My culinary prowess extends to a diverse range of cuisines, notably Italian, Caribbean, Soul-food/American Southern, and Asian. Additionally, I had the honor of working at a prestigious wine bar in Yorkville, Toronto, for a period of 2 years, where I acquired an extensive knowledge of wines. My passion for harmonizing wine and food knows no bounds, so please feel free to seek my guidance when it comes to pairing recommendations.
