Serving up rustic dishes for his family, friends and business partners, or in his words, "all the people that make this restaurant a success." A passionate cook and a rising star in the Canadian food scene, Chuck opened his first restaurant, Garde-Manger in the heart of Old Montreal in 2006. It soon became his playground - a vintage crab-shack come underground club where he could put his magical spin on comfort food, and indulge his fantasy of creating decadent meals served up to his favourite rocking soundtracks. From making hangover cures for his friends and cooking for competition restaurant staff to conducting “research” as to what his female customers want in a meal, Chuck’s Day Off has it all.

Join Chuck on his day off as he prepares good, honest food for his family, friends and staff while juggling the rock ‘n roll reality of running a restaurant.

tried to see if he had posted a recipe for fresh chorizo from a recent "Day off" episode in Mexico, and Cooking Channel has really screwed up their website. Every time i tried to leave the immediate page, it would start to go, and then go blank. Something with Java script. BIG problem. cannot access any of the recipes from any of the chefs. I wonder how many viewers they will have to lose before fixing this problem. Really not enjoyable to watch a show and not be able to find the recipes on line. Cooking Channel is THE worst. I hope Chuck gets a show somewhere else (hint!)
