UBUNTU CANTEEN CO-HOSTS COLLABORATIVE CHEFS’ DINNER
AT SURREY’S ZAKLAN HERITAGE FARM ON AUGUST 11
Vancouver Chef David Gunawan Welcomes Portland Chef Kaylie Barfield of Tusk for Farm-Forward, Multi-Course Feast
Chef David Gunawan and the team at organic-forward Fraserhood eatery Ubuntu Canteen will take the restaurant’s popular Sunday Supper Series on the road to co-host a special collaborative dinner with Chef Kaylie Barfield of Portland, OR’s Tusk at Zaklan Heritage Farm in Surrey (13278 84th Ave.) on August 11 at 5:30 p.m.
This special Sunday Supper will see the two locavore-minded chefs combine their talents to collaborate on a multi-course feast that features a whole spit-roasted lamb as the centerpiece. The full menu will incorporate as many as 20 of the 40 different kinds of vegetables harvested fresh from the 1.5-acre suburban farmstead on the day and feature natural wine pairings from That’s Life Gourmet Ltd.
“My relationship with Doug and Gemma blossomed from a partnership into a friendship based on a deep mutual appreciation for everything they do and grow on the farm,” says Gunawan. “These ingredients have been instrumental in providing the inspiration for the farm-to-table-focused menus I am proud to feature daily at Ubuntu.”
Both Gunawan and Barfield — chef at the acclaimed middle eastern-inspired Tusk restaurant in Portland, OR, and formerly head chef at Vancouver’s Nuba Restaurant Group — share a similar culinary philosophy of championing organic, seasonal and sustainable ingredients in both their restaurants in an effort to support the local community and environment.

ABOUT UBUNTU CANTEEN | Located in the heart of Vancouver’s burgeoning Fraserhood district, Ubuntu Canteen is the latest project for David Gunawan, the locavore-focused chef behind such notable and award-winning Vancouver restaurants as Farmer’s Apprentice and Grapes & Soda. Deriving its name from a Zulu word meaning ‘compassion’ and ‘humanity’, Ubuntu Canteen is a conscious and future-focused restaurant, bakery and coffee shop that provides a space where friends and families of all ages can gather together to break bread, share stories and build a strong sense of community. By day, Unbuntu offers a bakery that prepares organic pastries, fresh sourdough loaves and lighter fare comprising ingredients grown by its family network of local farmers and a full-service espresso bar using locally roasted, ethically sourced beans. By night, Ubuntu dims the lights, plays records and serves up a variety of approachable-yet-elevated dishes and fresh nightly features such as house-made pasta, rotisserie chicken and local seafood paired with house-made cocktails, biodynamic and natural wine and a rotating selection of some of BC’s best craft beer.
