Born in Malaysia and raised in Vancouver, Alex Chen is proud to represent not just his province of British Columbia, but Canada as a whole (in 2013, he was part of the Canadian team that competed in the Bocuse d’Or international cooking competition). After the competition, he opened Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar at The Sutton Place Hotel, an elegant fine diner that puts local seafood and produce front and centre. Chen is equally excited about celebrating Vancouver’s local dining scene, in particular, its wealth of Asian food options.
