GORE BAY—If his welcoming smile and personality doesn’t hook you, his cooking certainly will.
Chef Alberto Joseph was recently hired by B and J’s Restaurant in Gore Bay, and has already made some changes on the dinner menu and promises more dinner specials in the near future.
“My family moved from Ajax to live on Manitoulin and Gore Bay about two years ago—we love it here,” stated Mr. Joseph in an interview with the Recorder last week.
“I’ve been a chef for about 20 years now,” Mr. Joseph told the Recorder. Over the years he has worked as chef for many restaurants, such as the ClubLink Golf Course-Russell Hill Stouffville public course.
“One of the things we want to promote is that the menu here (B and J’s) has been refreshed, and we have brought new ideas to the table.”
“I want to help to make this restaurant a wonderful place that families will want to come and dine, enjoy themselves and try some of the new dishes we have on the menu,” said Mr. Joseph, who described his style of cooking as fusion with a Caribbean flair. “We have several new items on the dinner menu, such as jerk chicken pasta, whitefish linguini pasta, and grilled sausage and roasted red peppers.”
“And we are looking at having a lot more different dinner specials throughout the year,” said Mr. Joseph.
For your evening meal, customers can also order off the lunch menu as well, said Mr. Joseph. He pointed out there has been a change in prices, a reduction, on some of the menu items as well.
Bill Woods, co-owner of B and J’s said “Alberto is a really good cook. We just wanted to make some changes and that the town needed some new ideas, something new and fresh.”
Chef Joseph is in the kitchen at B and J’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
