A post Thanksgiving thank you from Chef Ric.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Thanksgiving meal at our Rideau and YMCA locations.

Your support means more than simply enjoying a great meal, proceeds from Chef Ric’s help support The Ottawa Mission's The Food Services Training Program and the students building their skills for careers in the culinary industry.

We’re grateful to have you as part of our community. Thank you.

Tomorrow’s lunch starts long before the first plate is served.

Today, our team is busy getting ready for Thursday’s Thanksgiving lunch prepping ingredients, organizing the kitchen and making sure everything is ready for service.

It’s the part our customers don't always see, but it is where a great meal begins.
See you tomorrow at Chef Ric’s.

Watch closely. Then it’s your turn.
Chef led demonstrations give students in The Food Services Training Program the chance to see a technique up close before trying it themselves.
Questions get asked, details get noticed, and what was just explained becomes something students can practice in the kitchen.

It’s one of the many ways students learn throughout their four months with FSTP. Thank you to all the chefs who share their time and skills with our students

Today, October 1, we’re celebrating International Coffee Day at both Chef Ric’s locations.

Tomorrow Wednesday, September 30, Chef Ric’s will share a complimentary bowl of Three Sisters Soup with our lunch special at both our Rideau and YMCA locations.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to remember the children who never returned home from residential schools, honour survivors, and recognize the lasting impacts on their families and communities. We hope you will join us on this important day.

There’s a lot to learn about food service beyond the kitchen.

Recently, students in The Food Services Training Program (FSTP) visited the Legion for a guest lecture on tools ,equipment, sanitation and safety with Chef Bruce Woods.

Experiences like this give our students an opportunity to hear from experts in the field as they continue building their skills and exploring where their training can take them.

A warm thank you to Chef Bruce for sharing his time, expertise and experience with our newest cohort .

09/24/2026

The newest students in The Food Services Training Program(FSTP) put their growing skills into action last week at an event alongside Chef Ric.

For the students, it was their first event and an opportunity to work together in a new setting, experience the pace of event service and apply what they have been learning.

They approached the experience with focus, teamwork and confidence and the event went extremely well.

We are incredibly proud of what they accomplished and look forward to seeing what this wonderful new cohort takes on next.

Good knife skills are not about speed. They begin with safety, control and consistency.

In the Chef Ric’s kitchen, Sous Chef Arneet is working alongside the newest students in The Food Services Training Program (FSTP) as they practice one of the foundations of working in a professional kitchen.

Learning how to handle a knife safely and create consistent cuts prepares students for the recipes, techniques and kitchen experience still to come.

It is a simple exercise with an important purpose and a strong start for the new class.
