2022 CANADIAN GUEST CHEFS
To complete the School year, twenty-four of the best Canadian chefs, many of them SCS Alumni, visited the School over the last six weeks to work with our Level 2 Students and present their unique multi-course Dinner menus. It was inspiring to see SCS graduates – now flourishing in the hospitality industry – return to the School as Canadian Guest Chefs, and work alongside current students.
This diverse group of inspiring and talented culinary entrepreneurs represent a wide range of culinary styles and cultural backgrounds. The mentoring they provide is invaluable, and often leads to future employment opportunities and more, after our students graduate. THANK YOU CHEFS!
And our Dinner guests gave rave reviews!
