In 2016, Chef Matty Cowan set a new kind of table in Hamilton, Ontario with his restaurant, The Heather. A small, efficient, yet beautiful space serving only six guests each night.

The concept was surprising, the tasting menu was stunning, and the people were eating. His new epicurean space was a tiny world of wonder, and a most excellent addition to the city’s growing food scene.

Before I could get there and partake myself, it closed its doors….

Chef Cowan sits with me and talks about his journey to Hamilton, the harrowing experiences that saw The Heather close, and the serendipitous collision that brought it back to life in a new home, on a new street.

Take a listen to his story, and then go book a seat at The Heather On Locke.
