Restaurant work is hard work. Just ask any cook about their long, demanding hours and grueling work week. But it's during that time when a cook is exposed to myriad ingredients, techniques, and styles - stimulating their creative minds. Though, most never get the chance to implement all those ideas or to execute their culinary visions. Cooks' Canvas showcases such line cooks of great promise, affording them the opportunity to realize their imaginations by providing an audience to feed. In turn, the guests then feed these young cooks' futures. This all happens in tandem with the Food Underground staff. We facilitate the framework in which dream becomes reality, connecting these aspiring artists and their patrons.
The debut dinner features Sydney Hanick, who moved to Philadelphia in 2013 to work on the line at Fork. She started her culinary career some years prior in her hometown of Wilmington, DE, but this new geographical start came second to her professional reboot. Having read history at the University of Delaware, Hanick traded her passion for what was, into an appetite for what could be. Now on the line at Kensington Quarters, she joins Cooks' Canvas to express her academic interest as well as show off her cooking prowess with a menu that draws from the influence of French colonialism on African flavors.
