Ross Derrick
Owner

Born in Winnipeg, Ross traveled around the world from his kitchen via his mother’s cooking, which was inspired by global cuisine. Ross trained at the Stratford Chefs School, and eventually, his skills brought him across the pond to Café Paradiso in Cork, Ireland, where he traveled as much as he could.

After opening Globe Restaurants at Big White and Sun Peaks, he became executive chef at Sparkling Hill Resort. Next, he opened Down 2 Earth Catering—the business that became The Table Café.

In the summer of 2022, Ross sat down with Globe's previous owners and worked out a plan to take over the business and bring Globe to its next stage. It was a full-circle moment for the chef.

When he isn’t working on his next culinary creation, find Ross spends time outside with his daughter, throwing sticks for his faithful companions Rosie and Daisy, traveling across the world in search of the best fish, and cooking with his equally talented partner Kelsey.

Giving back is also at the heart of what Ross does. Programs like Sauce for a Cause donated over $5,000 to community organizations, and he has produced over 100,000 meals for community members in need during the pandemic.
