Tucked away in Vancouver’s Chinatown is a new hit restaurant taking the whole country by storm.
When Tannis Ling, owner of the lauded Chinese brasserie Bao Bei, announced that she would be opening a Japanese-Italian joint with her long-time executive chef Joël Watanabe and souschef Alain Chow, industry observers anticipated an edgy little nightspot with cool snacks. But no one, certainly not the three owners, ever imagined that this charming hideaway would soon become one of the most celebrated new restaurants in Canada.
Now with such a major reputation, the pressure is on for the restaurant to maintain its superb level of quality, which is why RATIONAL was an excellent choice for this establishment.
With their unique and high grade menu, offering dishes such as Porchetta Agnolotti and Sedanini, Executive Chef Joël Watanabe knew that he couldn’t simply invest in traditional cooking appliances for this new hot spot. “Roasting at 575° was something that we were never able to do before getting a RATIONAL. Now we can and we produce the same consistent results every time.“ he shares.
Joel also loves that the RATIONAL frees up his time to experiment on new dishes. He shares that “It has given us the freedom to be creative.“
And when it’s all said and done, the Efficient CareControl is there to do the rest. “The self-cleaning feature is amazing. My staff absolutely loves it.“
