Celiac Awareness Month Spotlight: Dining Without Limits ✨🍽️

This Celiac Awareness Month, we sat down with Executive Chef Trent Bochek to talk about how Thomsons creates an elevated dining experience for guests living gluten free.

“At Thomsons, we approach gluten-free dishes the same way we approach every dish on the menu…by focusing on flavor, balance, texture, and quality ingredients first,” says Chef Trent. “We want guests with dietary restrictions to enjoy the same experience as every other guest.”

With over 50% of the all-day menu already gluten free (and many additional dishes that can be modified) our team takes extra care behind the scenes to help guests with celiac disease dine with confidence. From a designated gluten-free fryer and pasta pot, to carefully reviewing ingredients and training staff on hidden sources of gluten like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and salad dressings, every detail matters.

Some current guest-favourite gluten-free dishes include:

✨ Mango Ahi Tuna Tartare
✨ Gluten-Free Corn Ricotta Gnocchi
✨ Alberta Braised Bison Short Rib

“At the end of the day, we want every guest to feel welcomed, comfortable, and confident when dining with us,” Chef Trent shares. “No one should feel limited or overlooked because of dietary restrictions.”

We are passionate about creating a space where gluten-free dining is thoughtful, safe, and full of flavour!

Meet Dennis Truong: Supervisor at Thomsons ✨

Dennis brings heart, warmth, and a genuine passion for people into every guest interaction. For him, hospitality has always been about creating meaningful, memorable experiences…and that’s exactly what you feel the moment you walk into Thomsons.

When asked to describe the Thomsons experience, Dennis shared: “It’s warm, welcoming, and genuinely personal…it feels less like a hotel and more like a place where people truly care.”

If you’re visiting for the first time, take his advice: venture beyond the city. From the breathtaking views of Banff and Lake Louise to the laid-back charm of Canmore, there’s so much to explore.

Outside of work, Dennis has a sweet side, literally. He loves baking and experimenting with new dessert recipes, so if you’re ever looking for a treat recommendation, he’s your guy.

What keeps him inspired? “It’s the people. Every guest interaction is different, and knowing I can make someone’s day a little better…”

Dennis starts his day with a cup of coffee and a clear mind, embracing the quiet of early mornings as a foundation for positivity and productivity.

Next time you’re at Thomsons, be sure to say hello!
