CRAFT Beer Market
Calgary
Chef McGreevy vividly recalls harvesting vegetables from his family garden at a very young age, wiping off the dirt and eating them in place; his love of food and passion for local products stems from these very memories. It wasn’t until he decided to turn his love of food into a career that he flourished in an academic setting. He graduated from SAIT Professional Cooking Program and earned his Red Seal in 2002 before travelling abroad to gain some necessary experience in the ‘real world’.
In 2006, Paul accepted his first role as Executive Chef at Saint Germain Restaurant in Calgary. This beautiful restaurant garnered a number of accolades in its opening year, including Top 10 New Restaurants in Canada by En Route Magazine and Best New Restaurant by Avenue Magazine in Calgary.
In the following years, Paul took on several other Executive Chef positions in fine dining settings before challenging himself with the Corporate Chef position with CRAFT Beer Market, a rapidly-growing brand across western Canada (and hopefully beyond, in the coming years).
He is dedicated to supporting the conservation efforts of Ocean Wise, supporting local farmers and suppliers, educating both aspiring chefs and food-lovers alike – as well as sharing his extensive food knowledge and love of the industry with anyone keen to learn. He continually works with suppliers to ensure both side’s needs are being fulfilled and continually create initiatives within his restaurants to ensure that happens.
