Patios In #YYC Still Open On November 5th? I Think I'm Living In #BizarroWorld. But Still Good To Get

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)

@ChefKennyK's posse. A night to remember, and a night to continue growing from. Promise you next time chef, We'll get you to the top of that podium! (I hope...) (Pic once again courtesy of @dishnthekitchen) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #cooks #chefs

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)

"In a world of round holes, be a square peg." Sydney Smith came up with that phrase in a lecture in 1804. How true it still rings over two centuries later. It's the little things that set us apart, from those who dream and those who want to leave a mark. I am one who wants to leave a mark with my #ModernCantonese styles. Me signing my name in both English and Traditional Chinese is one of those. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #yyc #myphilosophy #philosophy #箴言 #captureyyc

Presenting @chefjinhee's (from @EatForeign) Gold Medal winning plate from @GoldMedalPlates #YYC last night, the "Cha ca La Vong", which is a take on Hanoi's famous turmeric & dill marinated fish dish. Stunning. That's all I can say. (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)

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
