His previous position was with Fairmont Hotel Vancouver where he held the position of Executive Sous Chef since 2013

Burslem’s career choice was sparked by a part time job he held at The Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver which prompted him to enroll at the Vancouver Community College Culinary Program.

His goal is to provide delicious dishes that tell a story through a connection to the region and people, and promises a ‘home away from home’ for dining travelers.
