Oru + jason pitschke = chocolate @ oru
So i’ve known Jason Pitschke since we opened Quattro in Whistler 18 or so years ago…
in fact, his first pastry experience was learning how to roll fondant from my mother… he could teach her some stuff about chocolate now though; Jason’s worked with some amazing people since we were ski/snowboard bums back in the 90’s – (he’s the snowboarder)
after Quattro, and Umberto’s, and then opening Cioppino’s with Pino Posteraro, he was mentored by the likes of Thomas Haas and Sylvain Leroy, and ultimately ended up at Daniel in New York, which led to opening Maison Boulud in Beijing, and attending the École de Grand Chocolat – Valrhona…

Well we enjoyed another great stay during our Spring Break travels at Pacific Rim and got to try a bit of the new Oru and Lobby Lounge menu while still keeping the kids happy with the children’s menu. Can’t wait to try more of a good thing when I am visiting again in April. Hope you are well.
Take care,
