CULINARY SPECIALIST SYSCO TORONTO

I am thrilled about our time in the kitchen together!

Let's create, collaborate, and achieve success as a team. Food and beer are my passions, and I am delighted to work alongside you.

JUST CHILL

PATIO SOUPS

Chilled soups are fun and perfect for those hot Toronto patio days. Whats cool about them is that you can have some fun pairing AMSTERDAM beer with your favorite chilled soup.

The crisp and refreshing taste of AMSTERDAM Beer pairs beautifully with a variety of chilled soups, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're enjoying a classic gazpacho, a creamy vichyssoise, or a tangy cucumber soup, the subtle notes of the beer can complement the flavours of the soup in delightful ways.

This experience is amplified perfectly with a pint of AMSTERDAM BIG WHEEL.

These little pops of flavour are read to shared with good friends and great pints. These cheeseburger bao buns are ready in minutes and stay hot for long periods of time which is perfect for those busy services. They stand up well with a cold AMSTERDAM Boneshaker IPA. The big hoppy flavour sits prefect with fatty beef and spicy relish.

SCRATCH IT

I have a background in scratch cooking, and I strongly support it. It wasn't until I joined Sysco that I discovered the abundance of pre-made ready-to-use products. Let's chat about some of my top picks!

CHARCUTERIE + CHEESE

Your sandwich program is already excellent. It's fantastic. As we transition into spring and summer, let's collaborate to develop some unique limited-timeoffer handhelds that truly resonate with your customers. Sliders are still a trendy and shareable way to introduce a sandwich and gauge how well the flavours are received by your guests.

MONUMENTAL

The first time I tried your smoked brisket sandwich, it left a lasting impression on me. As a Chef who enjoys barbecuing, I truly savored the delicious flavors of the sandwich. Memorable sandwiches hold great significance, and I am eager to collaborate with your team to create more exceptional handhelds.

CURATE IT MAINS It’s An Event, The Main One.

A small well curated main course menu is all that you need. I don’t need to tell you that though, thats what you have now. Here are few ideas that I have and I hope that you enjoy them.

Smoked Duck Breast with Microgreens & Togarashi Sauce

PAN SEARED SALMON

with Warm Potato + Avocado Salad | Olives + Chipotle Sauce

Wait... Did you say warm salad? Sure did! Olive oil pan tossed potatoes with avocado, olives and wilted greens make a light summer forward base for the pan seared salmon. The fire is brought via the chipotle sauce. Theres something about eating seafood dockside, and at AMSTERDAM Brewhouse you have that opportunity.

FLANK STEAK

with Veal Demi + Parmesan + Truffle

Kettle Chips

Grilled Flank Steak with Parmesan & White Truffle Oil tossed kettle chips is unique. The steak simply speaks for itself via it’s ultra tender beefy flavour. Stick it beside and AMSTERDAM Space Invader and you have a top shelf dinner.

STEAK FRITES

Steak frites is great on so many different menus. At AMSTERDAM, this flank steak and kettle chip version could be a really cool take on the O.G.

MAGIC MUSHROOMS

Wild Mushroom

Ravioli

with Forest Mushrooms | Aspragus

Spears | Parmesan + Citrus Oil

A play on words sure, but this ravioli is not playing around. It brings big flavours but is light enough to be a great lunch with a Boneshaker IPA. This dish brings earthy flavours and a hit of citrus which works well with the hops.

BRAISED CHUCK FLATS

with Heirloom Carrots |

Fine Beans | Artichoke

Whipped Potatoes + Sesame Spike Broth

If you have never dug into how awesome beef chuck flats are, now is your chance. These tender and flavour packed pieces of beef can be torn for a sandwich, or served as a center of plate superhero.

PAN SEARED PORK CHOP

Cheddar Mac N’ Cheese

| Fried Sage + Crostini

Boneshaker Mac N’ Cheese meets a show stopping bone in pork chop. Add some crispy fried sage crostini’s and you have a dinner

DAM Neon Haze IPA at it’s

I think pork has been missing on flavourful, and affordable. Let’s talk about getting pork on your menu.
