Episode Description

This weeks guest is Chris Kim - a long time mainstay of the local dining scene in Kitchener-Waterloo. He got his start back in High School as a dishwasher at local KW landmark Gulf Steak House. Chris spent several years working back of house at McGinnis Landing/McGinnis Front Row and the Huether Hotel. Eventually, Chris started working front of house and worked at Hannah's. It was while working at Hannah’s in fine dining that Chris learned the art of serving by creating a dining experience for the customer. He learned to make clients feel like they were invited to an exclusive party and to sit back and enjoy the ride. From there, Chris worked at Uptown 21. After several years, Chris started up his own food truck business - West of Seoul. This was followed by stints at Berlin, Janet Lynn’s Bistro, Grand Trunk Saloon and Public Kitchen and Bar. Currently, Chis has spent the last year and half in corporate fine dining at the Elora Mill.
