Adly Gawad at home in Paramour on Ossington
If there is one gentleman whose name is simply synonymous with superlative restaurant service in Toronto then it can only be Adly Gawad.
From THAT notorious Chapati truck, through all of the Lees (Susur and Splendido) to the environs of Ossington’s delightful Paramour, Adly has always been there to add that special something to your one’s dining experience.
He is a fellow that could seriously teach Front Of House staff worldwide a thing or two about the finer aspects of service.
If you work in hospitality in any capacity it would serve you well to listen carefully to this man…
Edinburgh-born/Toronto-based Sommelier, consultant, writer, judge and educator Jamie Drummond is the Director of Programs/Editor of Good Food Revolution… and we are considering doing a series of films regarding steps of service with the right honourable Mr. Gawad.
This video is made possible through the kind support of Fortessa Canada/Schott Zwiesel
Excellent. Please, oh please, make that steps of service series. Chris
I had the privilege of working with Mr.Gawad at Splendidio for almost four years! As you can probably tell from his short interview, we had ALOT of fun!! He is not only a stellar server and a consummate professional, but an all around nice guy! He got that “Top Gun” quote from me – freakin’ hole filler!!!
Looking for Adly… did this Adly grow up in Ottawa, was he a runner who loved Bruce Springsteen, and who studied photography?? Anybody know….?
