CLAYTON KLYNE   

Clayton will always remember his culinary instructor at SAIT Professional  Cooking  College in Calgary, Canada saying, “Once you become a qualified chef, you can work anywhere in the world  you choose.”  He did just that, and hasn’t looked back since.

Clayton’s passion for food began at age 15 when he worked as a kitchen hand in a Winnipeg Deli.  Sixteen years later he has had the opportunity to work in cities around  the world,  Edinburgh, Belfast, Calgary, Melbourne, and Auckland, just to name a few. He has also travelled extensively throughout Asia and Europe, on a mission to learn their regional cuisine, this being the basis for the “Without Borders” video project.

LYNDON WIEBE 

Lyndon was born and bred in Winnipeg before moving to Calgary in 1994. It was in Calgary where he discovered his passion for cooking and food.  After graduating high school Lyndon took his $50 VW Rabbit and drove across Canada on a trip that was supposed to last three weeks. Eight months later he finally returned with another passion; Travel. He then graduated the Culinary Arts program at S.A.I.T. in Calgary and decided to combine the two things he loved most. After nearly a year of cooking and traveling in Australia, Lyndon took his first trip to Asia. He then spent three years living in Scotland and exploring Europe.  In 2005 Lyndon came home to Canada.  A year and a half later he reunited with Clayton and Chad in New Zealand for a year, then headed back to Oz before embarking on the trip of a lifetime.  Lyndon currently resides in Winnipeg, Canada.

CHAD KLYNE

Chad is from Winnipeg, Canada born and bred. Chad has spent the last 7 years travelling to over 30 countries while working as a chef in such countries as New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Northern Ireland and of course Canada. He has worked in all sorts of kitchens from restaurants to hotels as well as a chef instructor in a hospitality academy in Auckland, N.Z.

While this is his third trip travelling across Asia, it’s definitely not the last. Chad is now working as a Chef on the east coast of Australia where there will be many more trips to come.
