Chef Adam Guther knew from a young age that he wanted to learn how to make great tasting food. He took the culinary program at Spectrum high school and received a scholarship to Camosun College.

While still in school, he started working in kitchens. 91裸聊视频淚 worked in different restaurants in downtown Victoria, before I found myself at the West Coast Grill at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort. I was hired as the banquet chef and was then appointed sous chef. Once I had my red seal I was promoted to executive chef and then to corporate culinary leader, which involved a lot of travel. I recently got married and now have a family. I wanted to spend more time with my wife and kids, so now I am back as the executive chef at the West Coast Grill in Sooke.91裸聊视频�

Chef explained how he91裸聊视频檚 evolved in the kitchen. 91裸聊视频淟earning how to be a chef, comes mostly through doing,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚n school you learn how to cook.

In the meantime, Chef will be preparing the most ordered dish on the menu, fish and chips, with an exotic flair. 91裸聊视频淲e make it with sumac raita, fresh coleslaw and pair it with our famous clam chowder.
