James Kennedy, CCC, Corporate Training Chef and 2017 BC Restaurant Hall of Fame Inductee has a lot on his plate but took time out to answer some of our questions from his top three spices to his favourite way to eat a mango.  
​
When asked why White Spot were returning to the  Healthy Chef Competition he told us: 

It's a great opportunity for our apprentices to get out and have some fun. It's also another great building block in helping strengthen our evolving kitchen culture

He added that White Spot is very proud that the full team has Red Seal status and all of the apprentices are well on their way.  And another cheering point – they are one of the largest chain purchasers of BC products. They are looking forward to their participation this year. This is their second year competing.

Danny Markowicz: Executive Chef
Garett Weston: Regional Kitchen Manager
