Owning and operating your very own restaurant is not for the feint of heart. Everyone has their own path to restaurant ownership and in this episode, Head Chef and Partner, Derek Lankinen, of The Crew on May tells us his story on how he ended up there.

Spanning multiple years, provinces, cities and more late nights than anyone cares to remember, Derek tells us his own story with a bit of an edge and a fridge full of honesty. This is a fun ride through the journey of food prep, Thunder Bay south-side renewal and looking beyond the current for the next adventure. Derek is as unconventional as he is loud and he brings a great energy to everything he does. We're sure you're going to enjoy this one! Thank you for joining us for the next hour!
