MEET TRAVIS BARRON head chef
Chef Travis began working in restaurants just outside of Toronto at a young age. He found his passion for all things food, and used this as a propellant to complete his studies at the George Brown College Chef’s School.
After formal culinary training he worked at several restaurants in the city and joined the Oliver & Bonacini Restaurant Group. This led him to the Oliver & Bonacini restaurant at Blue Mountain, where he quickly worked his way up to Sr Sous Chef and shortly after Head of Banquets and Catering.
In 2014 Travis joined the gentlemen at Northwinds Brewhouse and Kitchen. Chef Travis was part of the opening team, designing his kitchen to work hand in hand with the unique craft beer created in the on-site brewery.
Chef sources the freshest local ingredients to cultivate dynamic pairings with the number of craft brews from Northwinds. He continues to develop relationships with local food suppliers and the community.
When he isn’t slaving over a grill or designing new dishes, you can find him cruising in his other passion, a meticulously restored Robin’s Egg blue, 1964 Ford Galaxy 500XL.
