Jesse Vergen of the Saint John Alehouse and the Smoking Pig Real BBQ will be appearing on Top Chef Canada. Vergen tells us for his audition he cooked wild black duck with periwinkles, foraged sea greens from the Bay of Fundy with cattail salad.
It seems he's not too concerned about the speed factor, telling us he's been trained to work fast and tells us anyone who works in the restaurant or hospitality industry knows you don't just walk to a table, you walk briskly.
The show premiers on March 10 on the Food Network. You can check out Vergen's audition tape by going to their website.
