Description

Conner is one of the homies and we go way back.

Topics: Line Chef, Working in the Kitchen, Restaurants, Richmond BC, Mentors

In this episode, Conner talks about what it’s like being a line chef, experiences in different kitchens, and gives a shoutout to the mentors and role models in his life, including his dad and Chef T.

There’s a lot of tangents, from the grind of culinary school to different experimental recipes to dank smells in the kitchen. Both of us grew up in Richmond, BC, which is a foodie paradise, and we basically talked about our favourite restaurants in Richmond.

Shoutout to Chef T, dad, and friendship Fridays.
