This weeks guest is Tyler Smith. Tyler is an accomplished chef with over two decades of experience in The Industry. Tyler has worked in many difference facets of the food industry since his first job in fast food over 20 years ago. Tyler has worked every position, station, job and title in the kitchen. Everything from porcelain and stainless steel steward (dishwasher for those unfamiliar with the term) to executive chef and everything in between. 

Tyler attended Conestoga College in the Cook Apprenticeship Program. Tyler has worked for some recognizable names and companies in Waterloo Region over the years including the Charcoal Group, Fat Sparrow Group and Hannah’s Bella Bistro just to name a few. 

When Tyler is not cooking, he loves to travel (when it was allowed - damn you Covid) and he is deeply inspired by the cuisines he encounters on his travels. 

Tyler is currently working at Ethel’s Lounge in Waterloo and does private catering on the side.
