Bill Jewer
Executive Chef
Chef Bill Jewer began his career working in the kitchen as a dishwasher in a small restaurant at the young age of fourteen and thought it was fun. From there, he held a few odd jobs stocking shelves, helping in a greenhouse and working as a camp counselor, until he was eighteen years old.
After turning 18, he began to struggle with what he wanted to do as a career, for the rest of his life. He tried the college route, enrolling in an engineering course, but Bill knew this was just not for him. That summer he went back to camp as the archery instructor. Mid way through the summer, the camp Director let the head chef go and asked if Bill would like to work in the kitchen for the rest of the year. He thought to himself why not, it might be a nice change and he instantly fell in LOVE with the culinary arts and has been doing it ever since.
Upon his return to the city, he quickly enrolled in George Brown College for Culinary Management. He graduated with honors and was one of the few young chefs that was able to secure employment right after graduation. He completed his 3-year Apprenticeship at L’Hotel (CP) where he was exposed to all areas of the kitchen.
The love for cooking grew to a passion now after working 30 years in the kitchen cooking for Movie stars, royalty and presidents. Winning culinary competitions and working in three different countries, and for many different hotels and brands Chef Bill knows that his life in the culinary arts has been fulfilling.
