“Green Jacket“ Chef Masters Winners from Compass Group Canada, Toronto – Wed., June 16 2010
Each year, the winner of Canada’s Chef Masters competition is presented with the coveted "Green Jacket" award by Compass Group Canada. Slipping on the green chef’s coat was a prestigious honour for this year’s Winner, Chef Ramanaa Murugadas (Executive Sous Chef, Procter & Gamble, Toronto), and Chef Michael McKinnon (Executive Chef, Acadia University, Nova Scotia), the 2008 recipient.
Originally studying biochemistry and molecular dynamics, Chef Ramanaa was fascinated by the synaptic reactions food can create in the brain, and realized that cooking was his passion: “Cooking is not about creating different dishes, it’s about creating a dish differently!” He loves global cuisine and strives to provide fabulous ‘home-cooked’ meals for all.
Chef Michael McKinnon grew up in his family’s restaurant business. In 1997, he was honoured as Star Chef of the Year at the Canadian Pacific Hotel Halifax. He received similar accolades as Executive Chef at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel. Chef Mike has Gold Seal and Red Seal Culinary Certification, and believes that “skills can be taught, but passion grows from within you.”
Join us in celebrating two of Canada’s eminent “Rising Stars” and their entry into the exclusive club of Chef Masters Champions. As one of Compass Group Canada’s mandates (and keeping the theme “green”!), this dinner will focus on local and sustainable seafood.

Chef Paul Benallick from The Chefs’ House, George Brown College, Toronto – Wed., July 28, 2010
Chef Paul Benallick found his passion for food while working in the garden with his grandfather as a child. He recalls the pure joy with which his Granddad gave him an armful of home-grown tomatoes; that love for raw ingredients has fueled his career and his cooking ever since. Paul has worked at some of Toronto’s best restaurants under the tutelage of Anthony Walsh, Todd Clarmo, Brad Long and Michael Bonacini. At the tender age of 26, he was promoted to Chef de Cuisine of Auberge du Pommier, but feels he did not truly appreciate ‘good food’ until he spent five years in Europe as a partner of a small restaurant in North Yorkshire. There, he learned to respect the history and culture of dining. Currently enjoying his student-mentorship role as a Chef Technologist at The Chefs’ House, Paul strongly believes that chefs have a duty of care and responsibility to their profession: “Respect the food; Mother Nature knows best. Share the knowledge, and give back what you have learned ten-fold to the next generation. That is why I am honored to be working at The Chef’s House.”
