MAVERICK CHEFS 2019

The most innovative chefs in Canada revealed.

Chefs wield a special power. They create masterpieces that nourish, delight and bewilder, often at the same time. A meal made by a talented chef brings people together at the table and across time. If we are not careful, this special power can get overlooked. At Quench, we make a point to celebrate talented Canadian chefs every year and to acknowledge the people behind the plates.

Each of our 2019 Mav Chefs connect people in a unique way. Suzanne Barr is active in her community. Among other things, she uses her success as a chef to give others a start in the industry by helping them learn valuable kitchen skills. Jean-Christophe Poirier recreated a piece of his Quebec home town in Vancouver to give the West Coast a taste of the East. Our Mav Sommelier Bryant Mao connects with people every day, introducing them to wines and drinks made by Canadian producers around the world. The full interviews plus our fourth Maverick Chef, Marcel Larrea, the man who brought Nikkei to Montreal and the cooks out of the kitchen, are available at www.quench.me/mavericks.
