Another Take On The Almond Chocolate Mousse Tart With Mixed Berries. The Tarts Were Flying Out Of The

Another take on the almond chocolate mousse tart with mixed berries. The tarts were flying out of the pass tonight, as were our feasts. Usually our guests pass on the dessert, but not many tonight. I wonder why? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood (at charbar)

There are days where I can't believe this is where I work. On this day three years ago, I started my post-@MasterChefCDA culinary journey at @CalgaryCoop. Today I am working at @Charbar_YYC, possibly one of the finest restos in #YYC. And tomorrow I will be cooking at @goldmedalplates Calgary with #TeamWorkshop (@workshopyyc) under Captain @chefkennyk. How far I have come from just a market clerk. Here's to many more days of glory ahead. Because #DoWhatYouLove, and the world will surprise you in amazing ways. See you tomorrow at GMP guys! I'm super pumped. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)

How do you make a night when @torontofc wins its first #MLSCupPlayoffs game? Why, beef rendang of course. Babied a pot of this while watching #TFC make history. So delicious, and so, so sweet. (Also, rendant holds a special place in my heart, as it was the dish that got me onto @masterchefcda. Long story.) #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticesDayOff #JohnnysDayOff #HomeCooking #yyc #yycfood #tfclive

Doing some plating practice. Ceviche de camarón, greens, spicy lèche de tigre, micro cilantro. Working a long weekend doesn't have to be boring, since it's always a good time to learn. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #theartofplating

Patios in #YYC still open on November 5th? I think I'm living in #BizarroWorld. But still good to get some time to shoot the breeze with one of my culinary teachers @unusualzen, talkin' shop and drinkin' craft beers @millstreetyyc. It's like today was a perfect day to #loveYYC & explore all it has to offer. #StayLocal, folks. It's not always the worst thing. #ChefApprenticesDayOff #JohnsDayOff #ChefApprenticelife #yycfood #yycdrinks #yycpatios (at Mill Street Brewpub Calgary)

Calm before the storm. Bit of a long day for me today. Even though I'm not scheduled to be on, I still did a lovely 10.5 hour day. 4.5 at @eatsofasia standing in (just for the month of November), and the other 6.5 helping @charbar_yyc plate a 250-person dinner at @telus_spark #YYC. Off site catering events is one thing I had gotten used to while I was working at @barcelonayyc with @chefgass. But I don't think I've ever done a 250 person event. But @chadrittenhouse got us through it...can't imagine the pressure he was under. It's just another #GreatDayofLearning. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc (at Telus Spark)
