Chef Anthony Dalupan will be serving some of his favourite dishes at the WindsorEats Outdoor Food Hall this weekend.

One of the founders of Three: A Tasting Bar, Anthony is now the chef  at the Unemployed Help Centre and heading their Farm to Food program. He’s excited about the opportunity to get creative and showcase his skills for the general public again.

Philippines-born, Anthony had already graduated from the University of Windsor before deciding to enrol at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts, Vancouver, British Columbia. While in British Columbia Anthony managed several properties for Granville Entertainment, he then travelled back to his Canadian hometown Windsor, Ontario to open a small 40-seat restaurant “Three A Tasting Bar” with his partner and wife Kathleen Hart.

While raising their daughter Hannah, the ambitious couple continued to expand their business with a catering company called “Bamboo”. While at Bamboo he honed in on his craft, designing original dishes and menus for each event with a majority of the ingredients grown in
Southern Ontario.

They were both later commissioned to write a cookbook, “A Taste of Ontario” for the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, a marketing group that represents all greenhouse growers in the province of Ontario. Chef Anthony was a culinary instructor at St. Clair College of Arts & Technology, and an active member with the Culinary Guild of Windsor.

His involvements in cooking competitions have won him accolades and awards, most notably his first place finish in the “Show Down Of The Chefs” in 2004, and
his 2nd place finish in the Provincial wide “Chef Of The Year”.

Anthony was originally scheduled to cook at the signature Dinner on a Pier event, which has since been cancelled for 2020 due to COVID-19.
