Whatever you call it: staff meal, family meal, grub-in-my-tub, dinner, pre-service munch, clean-out-the-walkin or 4:00pm snack, everyone in the industry understand this is the moment when you fill that tiny empty part of your stomach, at the top of your belly. The 15-20 minutes before you do the massive sweep up, line setup, shot of espresso, and do the silent herb picking and ice cream tempering; this is the silence before the storm. Love this industry. Love it for all its good, its quirks, but not for its historically dark side. Hoping to share stories of how our industry is changing for the better and how people are making our industry truly sustainable and balanced. See y’all @cookscamp2020 😳, where hopefully we can openly discuss these issues over a camp fire and one too many :) @chefarturofreire @justalinecook @yasmimevelym @harrisonhotboi . . #chef #chefs #chefslife #cook #cooking #boh #foh #sustainability #vietnamesefood #patio #kwawesome #nosingleuseplastic #nosaran #noaluminumfoil #oceans #healthyfood #healthykitchen #camping #sofuckengood

There are bigger issues surrounding third party apps than meets the eye. The margins we make as restauranteurs disappear the moment you order from any of the well-known delivery services. Please have a quick read by clicking on the link below, and understand why I take the position of opposition. Thanks again to @cbcthenational @dianne.buckner for including us in this nationwide report! . . https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/meal-delivery-apps-restaurants-1.5161717 . . #cbc #restaurants #vietnamesefood #local #eatout #thirdpartyapps #lowmargins #losing #everyoneloses #noculture

Tune into @cbcthenational tomorrow, June 4th, 6:00pm to see my interview with the one and only @dianne.buckner. Chefs love our industry, and will fight tooth and nail to keep it healthy, vibrant, and ever changing. We need to work together to make sure our colleagues, frenemies, and competitors continue to provide quality food and service. What are we talking about? You’ll have to wait and see. @justalinecook @freirearturo @yasmimevelym @harrisonhotboi . . #local #vietnamesefood #eatout #eatin #quality #service #economy #service #foodandbeverage @cbc #news #chef #chefslife #loveit #hateit #culture #fresh #delivery #lowmargins #restaurants #winning #losing

KICK OFF SUMMER is brought to you guys by WB FOOD & SFBC! 😉 Come check it out...we’re still cooking! (ps: We are open til 8pm as usual.)

Banh Tet! Named after the Vietnamese Lunar New Years celebratory time of the year, a collaboration between @chefthompsontran and our sous @justalinecook, a lightly rethunk interpretation of this delicious sticky rice filled with sweet and salty mung bean purée, ginger scallion chutney, pork belly, fermented bean sprouts and chive salad, with our in-house made Nuoc Cham sauce! Come by all Saturday for a taste, along side some of our Vietnamese BBQ chicken or shiitake and puff tofu tomorrow! #comerainorshine #vietnamesefood #plasticfree #local #daikon #stickyrice #banhtet

There’s a storm a brewin’......come rain or shine this Saturday! We are marinating some meat (& Veg) on sticks, chargrilled to perfection served simply with a ton of herbs, sprouts, rice and some amazing fermented products by our very own sous chef @justalinecook. Delicious new releases from @shortfingerbrewing next door always hits the spot! Thanks as always for eating our food in both nice and S@&!weather! An Ngon NUOC CHAMpions! . .#local #daikon #stickyrice #friedrice #nuoccham #vietnamesefood #sustainable #plasticfree #saranwrapfree #winning #trying #openforbusiness #yougotthis

The last 2 years have been an emotionally charged and challenging journey that has tested my family and me. Moving from BC to Ontario, expanding my Nuoc Cham business to 4 provinces, 350+ stores, building 2 new diversely unique restaurants (with more to come), and have been given the opportunity to be a rogue in the restaurant world with our "no bullshit" approach to no single-use plastics, no aluminum foil, no parchment, no battery chicken/pork, no beef, and a BIG HELL NO to unsustainable seafood @oceanwiselife has been a blessing. Instead, I have implemented an "I'm all in" approach to changing the norms of the kitchen world and as a result has propelled us into a ton more opportunities. My team is enthusiastic about the drastic changes we have committed to, and love the challenge of being leaders in this movement. On the daily, we rethink, hypothesize, test, re-test, re-try, fail, do it again and succeed, and then to rethink and do it all over again. Hear from 4 panelists, with 4 individual perspectives about their experiences within the zero waste movement and how that has impacted the local food system. See you all there! An Ngon & sustainably! If you're interested, especially as a restauranteur, or someone who plans on opening a food business, or as a consumer hoping to make small but impactful changes, please come to next weeks open forum on May 16th, at Kitchener Market, 2nd floor. Tickets $10.00 General admission, and $5.00 for students. #plasticwise #plasticfree #zerowaste #rethink #refuse #reduce @oceanwiselife @dtkitchener @zerowastebulk @zero.waste.collective @theecomarketkw #openforum #change @montereybayaquarium @mscbluefish #impact #winning #motherearthcanstillwin #artifishal
