Chef Bryan Steele has taught and mentored dozens of Canada’s new wave of top chefs. In his role as Chef/Instructor at the Stratford Chefs School, which holds classes in his kitchen, he has, in many ways, laid a foundation for the food revolution that we are currently experiencing today in this nation.
But when the students have left for the year, he returns to a full time role as the Executive Chef at The Old Prune Restaurant, one of Festival theatre-goers top choices for a pre-dinner meal or languorous lunch. His menus are filled with the names of local producers; Churchill Farms meats; Soiled Reputation greens; duck from Everspring and herbs and vegetables from Carol Francom’ beautiful garden.
The Old Prune is one of about 300 restaurants that celebrate Food Day across Canada. Contact them at the number below to reserve a table.
