Chef - Kyle Lew from Chew
I’m from Toronto and moved here with my wife, Kristen in 2012 to open a restaurant and start a family.
Having gone to George Brown College, I then apprenticed and ascertained my red seal under Mark McEwan at One Restaurant. I also worked for Mildred Pierce, Buca, 5 Doors North and was the head butcher for The Healthy Butcher.
This event was held with a different format than normal as we went to Chef Kyle's restaurant and watched as he demonstrated how to butcher a pig and answered all of our questions. The meal was prepared by the kitchen staff at Chew and it had a pork based theme from beginning to end.
The bread was served with a lard based butter. The salad had crunchy deep fried pig skin. The Carbonara had small pieces of pork in the sauce. The dessert was topped with bacon ice cream.
