Red Seal Executive Chef Jason Oliver
An Edmonton local, Chef Jason Oliver is excited to be joining the team at Rooster Café and Kitchen.
This past season, Oliver worked as the Executive Chef at the Five Star Wiley Point Wilderness Lodge in Lake of the Woods, Ontario, but decided that it was time to head back to his roots. With close to 30 years of work experience in the Hospitality Industry, he has cultivated many different culinary styles. Oliver is looking forward to working with Rooster Café and Kitchen to oversee the growth of their brand.
In his youth, Oliver spent many days in gardens, fields of grain, and tending animals in the country. He learned that hard work started before the chickens stirred. Oliver is grateful for the support of his friends and family and embraces the past, present, and future experiences which have continued to allow him to grow.
As the Executive Chef at Rooster Café and Kitchen, Oliver plans to use locally produced and sourced goods that support #yeg and it’s surrounding communities, as well as other Canadian provinces. These partnerships create a sustainable growth that will continue to help build a better culinary scene in Edmonton.
