Katie Wong

Hometown: Richmond Hill

Summer Internship: The Restaurant at The Bruce Hotel

Favourite Food: Noodles in piping hot, house-made broth

Favourite Kitchen task/position: Pastry / Garde Manger

Career goals/aspirations post-SCS: To build my skills as a baker and cook in environments that respect diversity and are committed to building sustainable working conditions.

Fun Fact: I’m an Anthropology major and an avid traveller. I’ve been to over 30 countries, learning the cultures and histories of each place. Whenever I can, I like to bake for my hosts and my favourite thing to bake abroad is carrot cake. It always surprises those who have never had it, and I never tire of hearing, “This is amazing! It tastes nothing like carrots!”.
