Ian's path to becoming Chef/Owner of black tartan kitchen started in a family diner in North Bay and took him as far as Helsinki, Finland where he worked at the 2 Michelin Starred "Chez Dominique" ranked 21st in the World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2009.
Ian studied Culinary at George Brown College and worked in Toronto at Fare Bistro. He traveled to Europe and worked at Brasserie Paardenburg in Amsterdam with a stage at Ron Blaauw. In France Ian worked at Domaine de la Grezille, a vineyard in the Loire Valley. Ian's European experience culminated at Chez Dominique where he worked for 10 months, developing his skill with modern cooking techniques and appreciation for Finnish minimalism and simplicity.
