Some of the amazing chefs in attendance will be:
Marc Lepine,
Atelier
After 3 years of culinary school, Marc Lepine spent time
working in Toronto, France, and Italy, before accepting his first executive
chef position with Bartlett Lodge in Algonquin Park in 1998. Marc decided to
move to Ottawa in 2001 with the intent to eventually open a restaurant. He
received his sommelier certification from Algonquin College and spent 6 years
working as executive chef for the Courtyard Restaurant, where he was twice
named 'Ottawa Chef of the Year' by the Canadian Culinary Federation. Marc
decided it was time to open Atelier in 2008, and while the restaurant was
preparing to launch, Marc went to work with Grant Achatz at Alinea Restaurant
in Chicago. In February 2012, Marc was named the Canadian Culinary Champion
after winning gold at the finals in Kelowna, BC.
Kyle Mortimer-Proulx, ZenKitchen
Kyle got
his earliest cooking lessons from his mother, who believed everyone should know
their way around the kitchen. Getting his first kitchen job at age 15, Kyle
knew then what he wanted to do: become a chef.After graduating from Algonquin College's chef training program, Kyle began working as a cook at the Brookstreet Hotel, first under Chef Michael Blackie and later with Chef Clifford Lyness. He rose quickly through the ranks to become Sous-chef.
In 2012, Kyle left Brookstreet to become Chef de cuisine at ZenKitchen. Following Chef Caroline's departure in February, 2013, Kyle was named ZenKitchen Executive Chef.
Bruce Enloe, The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill
Bruce Enloe is the executive chef and co-owner of the Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill in Kemptville, Ontario. He is an advocate for local foods and organic agriculture, a chef, a writer and a singer/songwriter. He was born into a food family and learned his trade from the age of ten in the family restaurant. His passion for food and environmentalism took him from the kitchens of his native Texas to San Francisco’s world renowned fine dining organic and vegetarian eatery, Millennium Restaurant where he was promoted to the position of Sous Chef under Chef Eric Tucker. It was here that he met his wife and traveling companion, Nicole LeBlanc, an Ottawa native. At Millennium, he co-authored the award winning cookbook, “The Artful Vegan” and once cooked supper for Alice Waters... The two left San Francisco in 2003 to travel in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, and returned to work in Austin, where he was a sous chef at the famous Jeffrey’s Restaurant under Chef David Garrido and then Head Chef at Asti Trattoria, an upscale Italian restaurant specializing in local foods. In 2005 the two followed their hearts back to Canada to finally realize their dream of opening a restaurant specializing in serving organic and local foods, which they did in November of 2006, (eventually settling on a Texas foods theme…) and where he is still to be found most days behind the stove and occasionally behind the guitar.
