DEREK DAMMANN
Chef
Derek Dammann was born in Campbell River, B.C., the salmon capital of
the world. After studying cooking in Nanaimo, chef Dammann worked in
one of Canada’s great Italian restaurants, Zambri’s, in Victoria before
making his way to the UK to work with world-renowned chef, Jamie Oliver.
There, he helped develop the concept behind Fifteen, Oliver’s British
cocktail bar and restaurant, and later, Dammann became the corporate
chef of Sweet Candy, Oliver’s private production company. He
subsequently returned to Canada and settled in Montreal, where he opened
DNA, one of the most exciting nose-to-tail dining establishments in
North America. He partnered with Jamie Oliver once again to open Maison
Publique, a hugely popular and highly regarded gastro pub.
