NEXT GUEST CHEF NIGHT
On Thursday, February 27th Coast Mental Health Culinary Skills Training Program will host their 3rd Guest Chef Night with Chef Tyler Uguccioni from Cafe Di Beppe Restaurant here at Social Crust Cafe.
Tyler Uguccioni, the Chef de Cuisine for Di Beppe Ristorante, joined the Kitchen Table family in 2018.
His love of the mountains first brought him to British Columbia, where he worked at the Panorama Mountain Village ski resort as a cook. The experience inspired him to return to Ottawa to complete culinary training and pursue a career as a chef, with the goal of returning to B.C. to live and explore its wilderness.
He spent the next eight years in Ottawa working with several notable chefs, with an interest in expanding his techniques with new cuisines, cooking styles, and the craft of cooking in a restaurant. His curiosity serves him well in the kitchen. He believes it’s important to encourage creative thinking in kitchens, taking great satisfaction in seeing other aspiring chefs learn and grow as leaders.
The meal will be prepared by Chef Uguccioni and his team along with students from the Coast Mental Health Culinary Program. There will be two seatings to choose from 5 pm- 6:30 pm or 7 pm - 8:30 pm.
This evening is all about supporting this necessary and unique program that provides young people who struggle with mental health, opportunities to train and gain employment in Vancouver’s world class culinary industry.
Whether you’re a foodie or philanthropist, this night is not to be missed. The entire evening is staffed by volunteers and is being hosted by the Social Crust Café, a Coast Mental Health social enterprise initiative.

When our students have the opportunity to be exposed to professional fine dining techniques from top chef's like Chef Mueller it is invaluable.
