But about a year sgo, the
two determined that the time
had come to pass La Toque
on to someone else.

They departed to launch
Unlimited Gourmet Foods
and its line of specialty salad
dressings and sauces.

The Wiesers did not,
however, teave La Toque
customers in the culinary
lurch. La Toque, after all, is
not just any old hat. It is the
gros bonnet.

And it was the Wiesers’
creation. Their baby.

Abandoning La Toque to
the first ham-fisted short-
order cook who came knock-
ing would have been sacri-
lege. Culinary abuse of the
first order. Or the short
order.

Enter Felicella.

The young West
Vancouver resident donned
La Toque last summer and
has proved a worthy succes-
sor to the gros bennet crown. ..

Felicella began his career
at the age of [5 in the
kitchen of Peppi's restaurant

» (now the Beach House at

Dundarave Pier) and later
apprenticed under executive
chef Elio Guarnori at the ©
Holiday Inn Harborside.
There followed stints at

* the Westin Bayshore and.

Ramada Renuissance hotels.
At 27, he took over as exec--
utive chef at White Rock’s
