Loyalist College welcomes a celebrity chef to the next instalment of its Speaker Series.
Chuck Hughes, a former judge on “Chopped Canada,” and the youngest Canadian chef to win “Iron Chef America,” will join local chef and Loyalist College honorary diploma recipient Chef Matt DeMille in a moderated discussion about reinventing culinary traditions, entrepreneurship and the future of the hospitality industry.
Chef Hughes is co-owner and executive chef of Montreal hot spot Garde Manger and has served as host for numerous cooking shows, including “Chuck’s Day Off,” “Chuck’s Week Off,” “Chuck’s Eat the Street” and “Chuck & Danny’s Road Trip.”
More recently, he began exploring culinary traditions in his show “First People’s Kitchen,” where he delves into the rich food cultures of Indigenous communities across Canada.
This event is the third instalment in Loyalist College’s Speaker Series, an ongoing initiative bringing changemakers and leaders to the region.
Tickets to the November 21 event are $10 with proceeds supporting awards, bursaries and student scholarships.
