@chefstablebc @cookscamp 2026 is in the BOOKS! Great work from the CTS/CooksCamp Steering Committee, to our generous sponsors and to ALL who contributed to the success of this year’s stunning culinary gathering. As they say, #teamworkmakesthedreamwork and #manyhandsmakelightwork.

CooksCamp is a CTS passion project which holds so much significance for us. Every year, the event runs smoother, there’s more traction from all involved and the joy/positive feedback/gratitude shown by the CooksCamp-ers is the real proof of our efforts.

CooksCamp 2027 will be even bigger/better/faster/stronger, so while it’s fresh in your mind, consider how you and your community can contribute to next year’s event. If you’ve never been to CooksCamp, please consider attending next year. Also, please reach out to me directly if you have strategic partnership/sponsorship ideas, activation thoughts, foods you want to see/cook/eat and if you have any crazy ideas for us to entertain and implement. I want your input.

The countdown is on for @cookscamp 2027!

The people of CooksCamp make the event so vibrant, fun, educational and delicious. Part 1

Recent trip to Chicago. This cheesy pic sums it all up.

First meal after landing in Seattle. Delicious food, perfectly timed with the charge of the car, I think we finished in 33min total. I love efficiency. taken in Chicago, IL by @chefalextung

I love simple things, done right.

I’ve been going to Sushi Hachi in Richmond for many years and absolutely love it there. Consistently delicious sushi, amazing hospitality and I wish I ate there more often.

I finish every meal at Sushi Hachi with the unagi nigiri. It’s served ripping hot (heated in a toaster oven), it’s ideally seasoned, and has the perfect textures. It’s so simple, but executed perfectly every single time. I love that. taken in Sushi Hachi by @chefalextung

The other day, we were in Maple Ridge enjoying a sunny, family day floating on the Alloette River. LT suggested Chad’s Pizza for an early dinner. I’ve never heard of Chad’s, but it certainly was an unexpected recommendation coming from the wife.

In the first picture, is the Meat Feast pizza. I’m not kidding when I say it likely weighed over 5 pounds. It was loaded with 6/7 kinds of meat, had a whack of cheese and all on a pan pizza crust. It was over the top meaty; swipe to the next pic to see the cross section of meat and cheese. We had the Chad’s Special pizza as well and when I was carrying the two pizzas together, there was literally enough weight to do some upper body exercises.

Though it was unlike any pizza I’ve ever had before, I appreciate the over the top nature of it. Though it was a tad excessive, it was very tasty, it made me smile, it made me laugh, it scared me a bit, but I get why people really love Chad’s. I enjoyed the pizza, but honesty, I don’t think I could eat that style of pizza too often. I’d easily help crush one, once a year though.

Thank you everyone for all the kind birthday wishes. Every text, WhatsApp, FB, IG, OnlyFans DMs, phone calls and physical birthday messages was greatly appreciated. Your birthday greetings made this old guy feel very loved. My 63rd year is going to be a great one!

After a wonderful boys trip with Lex to Portland, we made it home in time for my family to spoil me with so much love and thoughtfulness. I’m so grateful for my family, my friends, my health and my ultra-slow maturation process which is continually allowing me to learn more patience, emotional intelligence and clarity when it come to life priorities.

Thank you all; here’s to a badass birthday WEEK & a year ahead filled with love, thoughtfulness and gratitude. 63 is the new 33. Let’s GO! by @chefalextung

Hello friends. ICYMI, I recently taped the 250th episode of the Nosh with @anyatalking which aired yesterday on @coopradio. What a pleasure to chat with Anya and to talk about so many different things. From @chefstablebc to @argylecoffeeco to @acadiansturgeon to inspired leadership/mentorship to some of my thoughts on the industry we love. We covered a lot of ground.

Though I find it cringy to listen to myself and my own son even told me last night that he can’t stand the sound of my voice, I think we talked about some stuff that I hope some of you might find interesting and hopefully inspiring.

Follow the link below, click on the June 23 episode and I’d love to hear your thoughts on some of my opinions. Grab your favorite beverage, get comfy and have a listen.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to our @chefstablebc #spotprawnfestival yesterday! Perfect weather, awesome guests, talented chefs and a ton of our favorite local crustaceans. 20 years of SPF and I can hardly believe it. What a joy to catch up with so many old friends and to meet so many new spot prawn fans.

Big shoutout to our spot prawn demo chefs (@chefchrisirving, @chanthyyen, @vish_mayekar_, @ying_blingbling, @cookingwithben_, @gather.chef ) for cooking up a storm and entertaining the crowds. You guys were fantastic; so informative, so funny, so passionate and so entertaining! I’m so impressed by your accomplishments, your thoughtfulness, your dedication to our craft and I believe our industry is in great hands with leaders and Chefs like you. If I or CTS can support in any way in the future, please reach out at any time. Big thanks to our special guests Minister @lanapopham, @robert_clark_64, @fishcountermike, @chefcharlottelangley and @eatfish.everyday for spreading the love for our favorite crustacean, and championing food waste reduction and seafood sustainability.

For our 20th wedding anniversary, LT and I ditched the kids for a quick getaway to @mountaintoprockcreek.

What a perfect chance to unplug and reconnect in nature - the wood fired outdoor spa, the cozy log cabin, and the hike to the top of mountain did not disappoint. We even had a re-proposal moment, and I'm so grateful for 20 years with my ride or die.

Thanks to Luke and Morgan for your lovely hospitality. We’re looking forward to visiting again and watching @mountaintoprockcreek evolve. taken in The Mountaintop At Rock Creek by @chefalextung

Not much better than spending a Sunday slurping ice cold oysters @taylorshellfish on the Chuckanut with my baby girl @bluwuberry724. Daddy daughter time, delicious oysters, beautiful views, endless inside jokes. So happy. taken in Taylor Shellfish Farms by @chefalextung

Happy 20th Anniversary Lynn Truong!

LT. Marrying you was easily the best decision I’ve ever made.
Your decision, though? Questionable at best. Were you a little hammed up when you said YES?

Regardless of your dubious decision-making ability,Happy 20th, Lynn Truong! Here’s to another 20, Big Daddy love you long time and “say you like crepes”. by @chefalextung
