Calgary Co-Op Kitchen Theatre, Western Lifestyles

Kyle Groves

Kyle started his culinary career at Earls as a dishwasher, and after a few years became the Sous Chef.  While working at Earls, Kyle attended and graduated from the culinary program at SAIT.  Once Kyle completed his apprenticeship he was hired at Catch Restaurant & Oyster Bar and moved up the ranks to the saucier position.  Kyle always had the desire to work in the great restaurants in the UK/Europe, and after he had worked at Catch for a while he knew it was his next step.  Kyle left Canada and moved to Edinburgh, Scotland where he was hired at Vermilion restaurant in the five star Scotsman hotel.  Kyle worked in Edinburgh, and then continued his travels to London, England where he worked at two Michelin starred restaurants, “1 Lombard Street”, and “L’escargot”.  After leaving London, Kyle returned to Calgary and took a position at CAPO, which had just been voted one of Canada’s top two restaurants.  Kyle worked at CAPO until he was hired back at Catch as a Sous Chef and then was promoted to the Executive Chef position 2 years later.  Kyle believes in a light and subtle touch to enhance ingredients, rather than to mask their natural flavors.  By using techniques that he has learned through his travels and years in the kitchen he brings a modern European flair to the menu at Catch Restaurant.
