What's cooler than dining at a restaurant that has a chef that competed on Chopped Canada? Meeting said chef from Chopped Canada!
A coworker suggested we head here for lunch one day, noting he has a friend who "works here" and I didn't think anything of it.
We got seated at a bench right in front of the open kitchen so we got to watch all the wonderful creations come together.
None other than Brody Ashton came to greet my coworker and I slightly fangirled as introduced himself lol
He recommended a few dishes to try, and I went with the ricotta gnocchi with wild mushrooms, and my two coworkers both got the butcher steak chimichurri. Seriously both dishes were amazing! The gnocchi was chock full of cheesy goodness and I had a bite of the steak which was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri really brought out the flavors of the meat.
Warm bag of cookies in hand, we got a photo op with Brody and went on our merry way.
