Table 21 presented by Piecemeal

Chef Curtis Pintye has spent the last ten years immersed in the food industry, embracing any challenge thrown his way. After working in restaurants, hotels, as the Chef for the Canadian Embassy in India, and recently with Kitopi opening kitchens around the globe, he's back home in Canada.

With the knowledge he has gained he now works as a consultant to restaurants, startups, and founders looking to increase revenue, diversify their portfolios, expand and tweak their businesses.

This one will be for the passionate restaurant industry peeps as well as the nerdy ones out there. This week my guest is Josh Fiddler. As a 20+ year veteran of the Food and Beverage Industry, Josh has risen to the top of his field, doing what it takes to get the job done well. In 2010, perseverance, inquisitiveness, drive to excel, helped Josh join world-renowned Moishes' Steakhouse in Montreal as Executive Chef.

But he's also a mathematics graduate from Concordia, he has since pursued topics in computer science and software engineering. Currently, he is working with Piecemeal to build out the prototype micro-services architecture for the marvelous Piecemeal Platform, starting with integrating our clients' Point of Sales services.

On this episode of Table 21 I get to chat with Chef Norm Aitken. A staple in the Ottawa/Outaouais area as a chef for many years. He is now the Corporate Chef for the Nordik Spa group.

He previously owned Juniper restaurant in Ottawa, but we'll learn more about growing up in Prince Edward Island and learning under Chef Michael Smith at The Inn at Bay Fortune. Can't wait for this one!

Join me to hear what promises to be a really fun chat between two passionate hospitality lifers. I've wanted to have Roxanne, from Soif - Bar à Vin, on the show since I started Table 21.

She is one of those people that totally get hospitality, from the relationship with guests to the one with your team to the knowledge required to provide outstanding experiences. She's a passionate wine lover and pretty funny too. Can't wait to chat with her
