We love fine dining, good cuisine and good people.

We found all of that when we went to Room Service Restaurant (http://www.roomservicetoronto.com/) and shared with it’s owner, Chef Washington.

Chef Washington was born in St. Catherines, Jamaica spending time helping his mom cook. He came to Toronto with his family when he was five years old.

He landed his first restaurant job, a dishwasher, when he was fourteen years old.

During our interview, Washington shares about what he learned working in various kitchens at a young age including the fact being a chef was not only about cooking but also entertainment, his game changing moment, why he decided to go with the “Room Service” concept which started as a dream fifteen years ago, dealing with racism from whites and Blacks and how he deals with it and some of the restaurant’s favorite dishes.
