Former chef de cuisine at the Chase Assembly offshoot: Mira Mira Cuisine: Health-driven Signature dish: Kimchi chicken and vegan kale salad

Eating well has improved Becarevic’s health and mood. This classically trained chef aims to fuel others with boldly flavoured dishes made up of “healthy fats, proteins from high-quality ingredients, lots of leafy greens and colourful vegetables.”

Lawrence La Pianta

Cherry St. Bar-B-Que Assembly offshoot: Cherry St. Bar-B-Que Cuisine: Texas-style barbecue Signature dish: Central Texas-style salt and pepper brisket that’s been cooked low and slow on oak wood
