Chef to Chef with Mark McEwan - Episode 2 Antonio Park

With 10 Montreal businesses operating under the culinary umbrella, note how each cuisine defines Chef Park and pays homage to his upbringing from South America to Korean heritage. Chef Park’s unique and creative background inspired him to highlight and create food that’s humble, family-orientated, celebratory and traditional. Observe technique, respect for tradition and adaption, all with the same stroke as Chef Park opens his doors to highlight a peek into his world.


Chef to Chef with Mark McEwan follows legendary chef, restauranteur and entrepreneur Mark McEwan putting down his chef knife and picking up a fork to explore the talent, food and people shaping the culinary world.

Each episode takes McEwan on a journey with a rising chef and celebrated culinary talent on their home turf. They candidly share their war stories, wins and losses, and taste the food that defines them. This is the often sweaty, sometimes dirty and always stingingly honest, unfiltered truth of how acclaimed chefs thrive, find fame and nearly burn out on the way up.
