If you’re addicted to food-based programming (and we know a lot of you are), you might be excited to hear that a local chef who helms one of Mississauga’s trendiest restaurants is about to compete on a brand new Food Network show.
The Food Network is about to premiere Fire Masters, a show that will allow Canadian chefs to show their grill skills to the masses. Mississauga toque Humberto Sanchez, who controls the kitchen at the Wilcox, will be competing.
