Following last week’s announcement that Feenie had ended his chef-in-residence position at Bacchus Restaurant at the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, it was made public that the Iron Chef Canada alum will be the new culinary director and chef-In-residence at the Vancouver Golf Club.

The opportunity to develop a new food program at the historic golf club reportedly “intrigued” the longtime chef for reasons that go beyond just the food.

“I’m an avid golfer, and it is not everyday you get to create a whole new identity from the ground-up, which is exactly what we are doing,” Feenie said in the release. “I look forward to working with the whole team and taste testing a variety of dishes.”

Feenie’s menu will debut at the golf club in late April. His menu created for Bacchus Restaurant will continue to be offered at the Vancouver eatery.
