He spent the last 12 years cooking for celebrities who were set to perform at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg.
He loves the way food brings people together, and comfort food is his go-to. Comfort food varies from person to person. For him, it's cabbage rolls. Clay Koll has brought his culinary expertise to the Narrows Sunset Lodge as their new head chef.
Clay arrived at The Narrows in early April and got right to work, preparing to open later that month.
"I think things have been going very well. We're definitely moving in the right direction, getting people back in the door," said Koll. "I've got a lot of positive feedback from the menus. Things have been going well."
Most recently, Koll welcomed a packed crowd over the Father's Day Weekend. Brunch and dinner buffets were served, and those who attended are still raving about how delicious the food was and how friendly the service was.
"We're more than willing to cater to anyone's needs. I didn't really know what to expect here, so I've been keeping an open mind. If you ask me for it, I will do it," offered Koll. "Everything from breakfast to dinner buffets and everything in between."
For those who have yet to experience what The Narrows has to offer, you're missing out. It's a gorgeous part of the province, and there is something for everyone. You can start the morning in the water and end the night at the Sunset Lodge, where Clay will be ready to serve up some great eats.
"World-class fishing, friendly people, a ton of locals, and people who have been coming out here for a long time," continued Koll. "Being from Winnipeg and not knowing anybody, everyone has been extremely warm and friendly to me."
Clay is also a big sports fan. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers opened their season with an impressive victory against the BC Lions. On Saturday night, the two teams will play again. Koll always has great specials on and would love to serve you.
Whether you're a party of one or 20, the Narrows Sunset Lodge has you covered.
And as far as Clay's mission?
"Get as many locals and tourists alike to come in and enjoy our great food," ended Koll. "The Narrows is an incredible place. From camping to RVing to fishing, you name it. Then pop by for a great meal."
The Narrows Sunset Lodge has everything you need for the perfect getaway, whether it's a day, a week, or the season.
