Junior Culinary Team Canada

Welcome to Junior Culinary Team Canada, Gus! Growing up, Gus always loved cooking + began to hone his craft by attending the ACE-IT culinary program in his last year of high school. Through this, he had the opportunity to go to the IKA Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, Germany as a support member of Culinary Team Canada. On his return he began apprenticing under his Chef and mentor Scott Jaeger of the Pear Tree Restaurant, and with his guidance competed in the Chaine de Rotisseurs... Jeunes Chefs competition, winning the regional and national competitions. Currently, Gus is continuing to develop his skills as he prepares for future competitions and opportunities. #juniorculinaryteamcanada #apprentice #chef #apprenticechef #juniorchef #cheflife #bcchef #vancouverchef #canadianchef #canadianchefs #chefsofinstagram #culinaryolympics #culinarycompetition #culinaryarts #culinaryschool See more
