Over the next five years, while honing his technique in some of Vancouver\u2019s finest kitchens, Quang quickly established himself as an advocate of sustainability and a champion of West Coast cuisine, a role that he continues to undertake in defining his approach to modern cookery.<\/p>\n<p>Raised in Calgary, Alberta, with family roots that stretch back to Scotland and the orchards and rice fields of Vietnam, Chef Dang originally moved to Vancouver in 1998 to finish his engineering degree and fulfill a dream to train for the Olympics with Canada&#8217;s national field hockey team. Part-time positions in the hospitality industry soon won him over, though, and his culinary career began in earnest. Quang went on to compete in a number of international food competitions such as the Bocuse D&#8217;Or in Lyon France, the National Cha\u00eene des R\u00f4tisseurs in Winnipeg and as a Canadian representative at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels, the largest of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>Quang returned \u2018home\u2019 to West as Executive Chef in September 2011 and has since elevated the dining experience to become recognized as Vancouver\u2019s best restaurant in a national poll (National Post, August, 2017). The mountain resort of Whistler would next come calling in October 2017 and take Quang behind the storied stoves at Araxi Restaurant + Oyster Bar as Executive Chef.<\/p>\n<p>Quang currently takes on the role of Executive Chef for Toptable Group and brings his many years of expertise to the brand\u2019s venues. \u201cEvery day brings a new adventure,\u201d he says, \u201cdefined by the seasons and the extraordinary ingredients available to us in the Pacific Northwest.
