This was @chefkennyk's dish at @Goldmedalplates #YYC last night: Prawn carpaccio paired with seared marinated scallops. It was pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. And as a team I think we probably did about 400-500 of those plates in about two (three?) hours. "Pretty intense", is probably how I'd describe the event, and it's an experience I won't soon forget! #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)

And yes, it wasn't all work last night (even if the work was fun!) I got to stand next to @kailliehumphries AND hold her gold medals from Vancouver and Sochi. Check THAT off my #BucketList, yo. (don't mind the goofy @stephencolbert-esque pose. I do it all the time for S&G. That and having a massive @teamcanada fan moment.) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)

Presenting @chefjinhee's (from @EatForeign) Gold Medal winning plate from @GoldMedalPlates #YYC last night, the "Cha ca La Vong", which is a take on Hanoi's famous turmeric & dill marinated fish dish. Stunning. That's all I can say. (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)

There are days where I can't believe this is where I work. On this day three years ago, I started my post-@MasterChefCDA culinary journey at @CalgaryCoop. Today I am working at @Charbar_YYC, possibly one of the finest restos in #YYC. And tomorrow I will be cooking at @goldmedalplates Calgary with #TeamWorkshop (@workshopyyc) under Captain @chefkennyk. How far I have come from just a market clerk. Here's to many more days of glory ahead. Because #DoWhatYouLove, and the world will surprise you in amazing ways. See you tomorrow at GMP guys! I'm super pumped. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)
