Bernard Casavant

In 2022, I asked Chef Bernard Casavant to be the Chef leader of the World's Largest Family Meal at COOKSCAMP 2022. I have known about Chef Casavant for a long time as one of the OG. A Chef who led a team that turned Canadian food upside down while he was opening and running the Chateau Whistler. His reputation as one the best Chef Mentors around came from so many of the other respected Chefs I talked with. When I talked with Chef Casavant about COOKSCAMP and about what we were trying to accomplish, he was all in, 100%. He has become one of our great ambassadors of the event and is now on the steering committee to help bring it to fruition again this year. Those two days at COOKSCAMP in 2022, I saw exactly why he is one of the most respected Chefs in North America. His dedication to the craft, the cooking, the mentoring, going out of his way to make everyone feel included and valued is exactly what COOKSCAMP is all about. I am was so happy to finally be able to sit down and chat with Chef and see where it all started and how his hard work got him to where he is today. I hope you enjoy our chat.
