Behind every great chef is a dish that almost nobody got to taste.

This one’s for the underground cooks. The ones working late nights, creating off the clock, testing recipes at home, and waiting for someone to believe in what they do.

I want to open the Bar Soho kitchen to chefs and cooks who haven’t had the chance to truly express themselves. Not for a competition. Not for clout. For the craft.

If you’ve got a dish you’ve always wanted to put in front of real guests, let’s build a night around it. You’ll get the credit. You’ll tell the story. We’ll create something people remember.

Let’s build a community that celebrates talent instead of competing against it.

If this speaks to you, send me a DM.

Let’s give the next great chef a stage. 👨🏽‍🍳🔥

🇨🇴 Colombian chicken & Smoked Gouda Empanadas with a Caribbean twist! 🌴🔥
Served with mango peppa sauce & mango scotch bonnet — my own take on ketchup & mustard. ❤️💛
Different cultures. One kitchen. No rules.

New menu testing might just be my favourite part of being a chef. 👨🏾‍🍳

Sneak peek at what’s coming this fall 👀🔥

Channa Bites 🇹🇹🇮🇳
Spiced channa • warm pita • mint yogurt • Scotch bonnet pickled onion • mango Scotch bonnet • tamarind

This next menu is about global comfort food — taking flavours from different cultures, bringing them together, and putting my own spin on them.

Familiar. Bold. A little unexpected.

I’ve been wanting to do more food like this 🔥

Food that brings different people together, but still lets me put my own style on it.

So for Serenity Sundays, I had to have some fun with the menu 😂

🔥 Smoked Jerk Chicken Platter for 2
🔥 Smoked Jerk Wings
🔥 Oxtail Poutine
🔥 Mac & Cheese

Now the real question… what are you ordering first? 👀

Only available Sunday, August 23rd at Bar Soho in Port Credit.

Come eat. Come vibe. And let me know which dish wins 🤝🏾🔥

Been wanting to add a proper warm dessert to the menu, so I went back to a classic and put my touch on it.

Sticky Toffee Pudding 🤎

Warm date cake, homemade toffee sauce, candied pecans and vanilla ice cream.

Starting as a feature for the next couple weeks while I perfect it, then she’s joining the new menu.

Simple, warm, rich… exactly how dessert should be. 👨🏽‍🍳

Inspired by the legendary McDonald’s McRib… but taken way further. 🔥🥢

The McBao starts with low-and-slow smoked ribs, glazed until they’re sticky, nestled inside a soft steamed bao, then topped with house pickles, pickled onions, crispy onions, and fresh scallions.

A little nostalgia. A whole lot more flavour.

🔥 Smoked Jerk Chicken Wings 🔥

Smoke. Fry. Bake.

Three steps that take well done to a whole new level. Smoky flavour, crispy skin, juicy centre.

To my Jamaican family 🇯🇲 and everyone celebrating Caribana Weekend—these are for you. ❤️💛💚

Sundays only. Pull up hungry. 🍗🔥

One of our most popular items for a reason. 🔥🍟

House spice-seasoned steak-cut fries layered with slow-smoked brisket, rich house-made brisket gravy crafted from the drippings, and house spice-seasoned cheese curds. Finished in the oven until the curds are perfectly warm and melty, then topped with a touch of fresh green garnish.

Every layer is seasoned. Every bite is packed with smoke, crunch, and comfort.

Come see what everyone’s talking about. 🤤

The music was playing.
The road was quiet.
And for the first time in a long time, so was my mind.

I used to think being a chef was about proving how much I could handle.

The long hours. The pressure. The chaos. The sacrifice.

But somewhere along the way, I realized food isn’t about me.

It’s about the people sitting at the table.

These days, I cook with gratitude. I cook with intention. I cook with the hope that someone leaves feeling a little more nourished than when they arrived.

The fire is still there.

It’s just fueled by something different now. ❤️🔥

#ChefLife #FoodWithPurpose #foodporn #ChefJourney #foodie

The strongest version of me isn’t the one that can take the most pain. It’s the one that found peace.

Patience, smoke, fire, and time. Good food and good people aren’t rushed.

Food has always been my way of bringing people together.

An idea on paper. A vision brought to life.

Every recipe teaches me something. Every service teaches me more.

Some things can’t be rushed. Growth is one of them.

A little piece of my upbringing in every bite.

I fell in love with the process, not just the result.

Still chasing perfection. Just no longer chasing validation. taken in Port Credit by @daniel__tesfay
