Kitchener–Waterloo, Cambridge & the 519
Custom 3–8 course dinner parties, catering, and pizza pop-ups — cooked where you gather, built on local ingredients.
The Chef
Allan earned his Red Seal under Chef Nick Benninger at Uptown 21 and the Fat Sparrow Group, then took his knives on the road: first to Ireland’s Powerscourt Hotel & Spa — rated the country’s #1 hotel in 2017 — and then to Monachyle Mhor, a boutique hotel in the Scottish Highlands that grows and forages much of what it serves. Fourteen months of cooking and eating across Europe later, he came home to Waterloo Region with a simple idea: restaurant-level food, built on local ingredients, served where people actually gather. That’s The Traveling Chef.
