For episodes 30-35 of the Let’s Meet for a Beer Podcast my friend Cam Dobranski, owner of Medium Rare Chef Apparel, is joining me as co-host! Cam made some calls to his friends across Canada (who also happen to be world-class chefs) to see if they would join us to share their stories – and luckily they said yes!
Today we connected with Todd Perrin, Chef and Owner of Mallard Cottage in Quidi Vidi, Newfoundland which was ranked #22 in Canada’s Top Restaurants in 2018. Todd has appeared on The Food Network’s Top Chef Canada twice and also is a featured judge on Wall of Chefs.
Todd is a passionate chef and thinks the concept of work-life balance is overrated! On the podcast, he is very open about his journey as a restaurant owner and the challenges that the current pandemic has meant for him, his family and his team. I’m grateful that he took the time to connect with us and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
