From A Few Days Ago. Fried Boccocini, Basil, Dressed Spring Mix & Cocktail Tomatoes. Who Said You Can't

From a few days ago. Fried boccocini, basil, dressed spring mix & cocktail tomatoes. Who said you can't be good and bad? #ChefApprenticeLife #OnThePass #Latergram #Salad #cheese #tomatoes #fried #yycfood #yyc #evliving #dinner #yycliving #theartofplating (at charbar)

3 stations, 1 daily catch. Chargrilled red Chimichurri octopus, grapefruit-lentil sprout spring salad, herbed potatoes. So glad I actually had the patience to wait to get this snap before absolutely demolishing it AND a bowl of cheesy fried broccoli. #SorryNotSorry! #BoysWhoEat #ChefApprenticeLife #DailyCatch #octopus #chargrilled #seafood #potato #salad #chimichurri #yycfood #yyc #evliving #yycliving #theartofplating (at charbar)

"No, Mr. Gai Yang, I expect you to roast." This was my first attempt at making a Thai style charcoal roast chicken. Apparently it's so popular in Bangkok and other Thai cities you can throw a chicken bone at any direction and you'd hit a Gai yang joint. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #charcoal #fire #yyc #yycliving #yycfood #AsianStyle #ThaiFood #grill #BBQ #beautifulcuisines #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #gastropostYYC

Dulce de leche experiment. Bathing cans of condensed milk for 10 hours at 85°C in my @anovaculinary #sousvide machine, and this South American delight emerges. I've worked with #DulceDeLeche at two restaurants already. What can I do to make this part of my #ModernCantonese repertoire? Hmmm... #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #testing #sweets #dairy #yycfood #yyc #yycliving

Seafood and meat bonanza. Littleneck clams, three types of oyster: Savage Blonde (PEI), Holliewood (BC), Raspberry Point (PEI), Chorizo, Jámon, grilled snow crab legs. Protein lovers rejoice! #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #yycliving #evliving #dinner #OnThePass #seafood #meat #chorizo #jamon #snowcrab #clam #oyster (at charbar)

Spaghettini alla cacio e pepe; a Roman classic made by a #ModernCantonese cook. I recently had it when eating dinner with @unusualzen at @Tenfoothenry a few weeks back, and fell in love. I didn't have pecorino on hand, but had a hard cheese on hand. Let's just say the Sichuan peppercorns helped, the cheese...yeah, not so much. It's not @KenjiLopezAlt-level perfection, but at 2:15am #LateNightEats it wasn't bad. (P.S. The garlic toast is optional.) . #ChefApprenticeLife #CucinaRomana #pasta #CucinaItaliana #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #yycliving #cacioepepe #ChefApprenticeAtHome #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #theartofplating #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #staffcanteen
